Really love the ambience. The cinematography was really good, so smooth. The actors, even though they're newbie, but the acting was fascinating. I didn't expect that Kiesha Alvaro would turn out to be a great actor. Good job, bro.
The story and the twist, just amazed me. And the music, it's best. Raim Laode's songs are never failed.
The moment when Komang's mother found out that the package was from Ode was so heartwarming.
The dolphin toys did the same. Such a nice twist and made me think if this was really their story, wow.. Such a fate does really happen in real life. However the way the director brought out the movie is so smooth so that it made sense.
Good job to all who work on this.

In an era where many love stories end with cliché scripts and overdone dialogue, Komang, directed by Naya Anindita, arrives as a breath of fresh air. This film isn't just a romance - it's a soul's diary, opened page by page with honesty and tenderness.
Based on the real-life story of Raim Laode and Komang, the film touches on the most personal aspect of love: sincerity. There are no cheap gimmicks. No romantic lines crafted just to trend on social media. Instead, the dialogue in Komang feels like private journal entries from someone learning to love and to be loved with all their flaws.
Aurora Ribero truly brings Komang to life. Her performance is subtle, natural, and full of emotional layers. The audience doesn't see "acting" - they feel the presence of a young woman quietly writing her life story with truth. Her character isn't dramatic, yet in that simplicity, she moves us.
Naya Anindita's script is exceptional. It doesn't try to be poetic for the sake of it. Each line feels like something we've once written in our own notebooks or wished someone had said to us. It's like hearing the inner voice we've kept hidden: honest, fragile, but genuine.
The film's visuals also play a key role in shaping its emotion. The soft tones of Bali and the authentic cultural backdrop strengthen the story's realism. The score and cinematography don't just show us the story they make us feel it.
