My Honest Review about ToBa Dreams
This movie is quite long (144 minutes) but I don't feel sleepy at all. For 144 minutes I just hold my eyes (and nose) to not to cry. I just too ashamed to cry in public :( This drama gives many short conflicts that relates to another conflict and it successfully made up and downs in our emotions.
Typical plot, but because of the great act from actors and actress (director and co director were taken big part on it too), it can give you remarkable lines and moments. For example, the moment when they were joking, but 5 seconds later I just want to cry again because after they was joking, there was an irony.
ToBa Dreams bring great cinematography taking place around Toba Lake and Jakarta. Loved the color tone too!
The ending? Not quite surprised because the filmmaker already gives us a clue about it, but the ending is not the ending that I want.
