Better Off Dead
i really relate to Gema. pemalu, introvert, sering ngomong sendiri, dan kadang caper dengan cara yang aneh. sepanjang film, rasanya kayak lagi ngelihat diri sendiri dari luar, and it made me cringe a lot. Kayak, “oh ternyata ngomong sendiri tuh keliatannya se cringe ini ya.”

i went in with high expectations, but the ending was kinda disappointing. honestly, kalau filmnya berhenti di scene lift, it would’ve been way more better. padahal kalau ending nya bagus, this film could’ve been on the same level as JCSDFF

"Masa harus ada yang meninggal dulu baru aku ditemani ?"

I hate how good this movie symbolizes on being left out. I felt every moment the main character go through.
When my father died , no one other than my close friends offered me condolonces for it. I really hate wanting to do something for attention. Why cant they just treat me like how they treat their other friends? Why do I have to be different in order to BE their friends ? Yes I do have other friends im grateful for but they have their own life. But sometimes wanting other friends that treat you like a human being is okay. All I want is a simple acknowledgement from them.

Why cant I have that ?
