Bring Her Back

“agak gila kali ibuk ini… tapi kasian juga” every setup lands with satisfying emotional and narrative weight. that said, the pacing in the first half sometimes lingers longer than it needs to, testing your patience before it all clicks into place. The final shot is hauntingly beautiful, a perfect note to end on. And Susan… what a four dimensional character. you end up feeling a weird mix of anger, fear, and sympathy toward her, which makes her all the more compelling. At its heart, the film is really about grief… not as one simple emotion, but as something that shifts and morphs. sometimes grief is a quiet burden, sometimes a monster that consumes everything in its path.
