If i must list 5 best youth movie in Indonesia, this movie definitely will be on the list. This movie is not just entertaining and fun but also witty. the movie not just telling about the dummy things that teenage acts on their daily. but also successfully conveyed some serious messages about tolerance. Though the idea of having trans-gender parents is no longer a new issue on the movie, since Transamerica etc, but this movie has become such as enlightenment for Indonesian movie schemes. The best scene i could recall from this movie is the scene of the Transsexual Father played by Barry Prima (he used to be one of the legend in Indonesian martial art movie) fighting and chasing a pickpocket. Bravo.....

At first i was expecting something 'out of the box' from Kala, when i previewed the website and especially from rumors i heard from people who went to the theater to witness the birth of the new Indonesian movie genre, a neo noir kinda movie. well.....This movie directed by Joko Anwar was actually went 'out of the world'. To be honest it wasn't totally awful, i like the art direction, i love the idea of the story, i really appreciate the gud of those people who brought this noir idea into silver screen, salute guys... but when it comes to plotting and story telling, oops.......sorry it wasn't good enough. The haunted ghost scenes with logical explanation attempt at the end, just doesn't work out man!. The grading quality is so poor also. Though i understand that technically it's quiet difficult to shoot the night scenes with wide angle (it's clearly seen the day light reflection on talents face as well as from the see-trough cloth wore by Fahrani). but if Joko Anwar paying more attention on details especially during the post production, i'm sure this movie would be even better. one more thing....the Kungfu lady was just too much...
