Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap

Bene Dion placed strong emphasis on family relationships and kept us engaged with situational comedy and everyday subtleties. This heartwarming drama is very well cast as a whole particularly Tika & Wendy. One giant hug for everyone involved in making it.

Everything is perfect. The story is very strong. The flow from beginning to the end is very smooth. Tika's acting wonderfull. Colouring with relevant and beautiful Batak' song. Indonesian movie is really advancing. Endorsing you and all family, if possible with your dad and mom, watching the movie together...

This movie is not just about family conflict. It's also about the urge to preserving traditional culture in modern era, where people have their own desires which may contradict with the culture. It's a story most family could relate to. For the drama, it's met my expectation, it successfully makes me cry. I was skeptical with the comedy, I always find comedy in movies are cringe. But this one is not, the comedy feels like it's just happened naturally. Even though this movie is more focused on the drama, sometimes I laughed at the funny scenes. There's a lot of Bataknese culture showed in this movie. The beautiful views of Toba Lake made this movie even more better.

I enjoyed it a lot. Really a worth try!

After watching this film, I went home with a very satisfied heart because the film really exceeded expectations. A very good family drama film, there are so many lessons to be learned from this film.

Even though the film is about the Batak family, I'm sure the film will relate to almost all families.

Big respect to the director and all the cast. Thank you for this very emotional movie.

Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap is a heartfelt family drama-comedy that gently explores generational conflicts, cultural expectations, and unspoken love. Set in the beautiful landscape of North Sumatra, the film follows a Batak family navigating emotional distances that are all too familiar in many households.

What makes this film shine is its emotional honesty. The story feels personal and relatable, unfolding slowly with room for laughter and reflection. The humor is organic, arising from real-life situations, not exaggerated gags, while the drama feels genuine and touching.

The performances are grounded and believable. The chemistry between the cast helps sell the film's emotional core. The use of the Batak language enriches the narrative, adding layers of identity and culture that feel authentic rather than decorative. Combined with the lush cinematography, the visuals support the emotional tone beautifully.

Some pacing issues slightly affect the middle portion, but overall, the film maintains a strong emotional flow. It successfully delivers its message about love, expectations, and communication within a family.

In the end, Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap reminds us that beneath our differences and pride, family is where we often find our truest sense of belonging. Warm, humorous, and deeply relatable-this is a film that lingers in the heart long after the credits roll.
