i can't help to focus on sarbajaya, to feel her life. sarbajaya could carry it all on her own, she'a mother, a keeper of her son, her daughter, and her husband's cousin already so old, and sometimes the resentment crept in. why her, why another body to hold when her arms were already full?

she waits for a husband who comes and goes like the wind searching for work, while she stays, trying to keep everything from falling apart. the money comes and goes, and she can do nothing but watch their walls splinter, their roof lean lower, their home become more broken and more broken, an exhaustion with no name, but she cannot stop. what a heartbreaking exploration on life.

It doesn’t try to impress you. It just stays honest.

mixed feelings on this one because on the one hand, i can understand the importance of the message & perspective it’s showing. however, the pacing of this movie just made it so hard to watch. it’s simply so slow. personally, i didn’t fully connect with the emotions because of how slow it was. i think it would’ve been more effective payoff for me if it was cut to around an hour and a half instead of over 2 hrs. there’s so much extra space that feel as if the movie drags. i looked down at my phone several times & quite literally missed nothing and could still tell you the entirety of what happens.

Sarbojaya Ray: This is my home now too. But just look at it. It's like living in the jungle.

It’s difficult to put my thoughts about this film into words because of how deeply human it is. Uses a very slow narrative approach to make the tragedy of it hit harder.

I had a feeling it was coming but it still was devastating
