1 Kakak 7 Ponakan

Truly a drama that warms the whole heart and soul. The choice of words is good, not cheesy and not forced. The portion of sadness is also just right so that we who watch it are not made full of sadness but are made warm. The music is also very unified from each sceneworthy. The writing of the characteristics of the characters is really fitting and they share their feelings for each other and still make sense. For much or even almost all of this film the depiction is very, very good, the coloring techniques are very suitable for the content of the story. There is no reason to miss this film, which is just the right length, even though it is 2 hours long, but it is very satisfying. Worth watching!!!

Yandy Laurens it's the best director, i think he writte a story with heart and him feelings. Such as from a technical perspective, cinematography, directing the actors optimally so as to produce a good storyline. And then in giving the image colors that tend to be natural without using a lot of filters so that I can feel the aesthetic that Yandy wants to give. In essence, the technical matters in this film it's good enough, but I think Freya's role as Nina in this film still has shortcomings. She is a new actress in film, so the emotions she plays still feel a little fake and stiff. Good film.

Another movie that showing sandwich generation, especially in Indonesia, is real. Just like another movie "Home Sweet Loan", describe how young generation must sacrifice their time and opportunity, to make a better life for others, without any choice. This is also a kind reminder, that having a big family, will come with big responsibility, and many are not well prepared for what comes next in life.

1 Kakak 7 Ponakan is a beautifully crafted family drama that proves Yandy Laurens is a genius in storytelling. The film is a heartfelt exploration of familial bonds, especially resonating with the sandwich generation, earning a solid 9/10 or even a 9.2/10 if you find yourself in their shoes. Its simplicity is its strength-offering a story that's unassuming yet profoundly meaningful.

This warm and emotional film delivers moments that will make you cry deeply while reminding you of the importance of family. However, a minor drawback is the depiction of a character so angelic that it leans towards being unrealistic. Despite this, the film remains a masterpiece that celebrates love, sacrifice, and growth within the chaos of family life.

"1 Kakak 7 Ponakan" is a movie that is so heartwarming and seems to give a hug to anyone who is struggling for his family, especially to his siblings. After watching the movie, I still sit quietly with my cheeks still wet until the screen turns off. Memories of family seemed to come to mind. So I want to hug each one and say thank you, including to myself.

Yandy Laurens skillfully stirs the audience's emotions. What's interesting is that while watching it makes me laugh, at the same time it makes me sad. It's never too late to feel what the characters are really feeling. Scenes that are sad still have things that make me laugh, but suddenly I immediately shut up and feel sad, and conversely. The laughter and sadness go up and down with the right portion and pacing.

The heart is touched and happy to see how Moko struggles to give up his dreams, to take care of and support his siblings, and their togetherness that looks simple but so meaningful. Not to forget the kindness received from loved ones around him which makes it even more touching. The characters are also diverse and unique. From the loveable ones to the annoying ones.

This film is even more special with scenes without any dialog or only accompanied by the sound of a piano but it makes my chest feel tight, I really get the feel and the message. This is also supported by the way the movie is shot and the performances of the cast. There are also scenes that are short but really memorable, made me laugh even until the audience applauds when watching it.

In addition to the captivating performances of the cast, the shots and details shown add to the warmth of the narrative. There are times when the images are taken at a distance with a rather long duration, capturing moments of warm togetherness in the midst of a difficult struggle. The movie doesn't only look at Moko's point of view, but also that of his siblings. In the end, this movie will make me realize the meaning of family, struggle, and sincere love.
