Una mujer normal

Nothing in this script doesnt make sense, its like it was written by a 10 year old for homework in one afternoon. Im not gonna talk about hte details cuz every single thing about this story is ridiculous. Bad storz, bad plot, bad actors, bad ending, bad characters. I honestlz cant believe that Netflix is buying this. Dont waste your time like me.

I thought this movie was excellent. I watch mainly Asian dramas for my normal everyday consumption and a big fan of japanese horror. That being said, alot of people are going into this movie with the family dynamics of an American family. But the dynamics for alot of Asian families depend on filial piety. The parents are the most important even when married and you don't question them. And many husbands follow there parents without question as well. This leaves the wives stuck in a precarious situation where even if they want to leave, they cannot as it damages their reputation and the child's. And reputation is also a big thing within Asian families. You see all these dynamics played out within this movie..abusive husband and MIL, nonchalant mother of the wife and a stressed out wife whose only protector is her teen daughter, who has her own issues. This movie portrays a woman who loses her self within her marriage and how the marriage seems perfect until her perfect image starts cracking. She has no identity as a woman, only a servant to others.

Please go into this movie with a little research on filial piety and women's rights within marriage in Asian families.

And that was the longest, irresponsible, and unregrettable title I've ever written.

This film (might have) firstly intended to capture a rich, famous, old rich family drama -which is nothing else than mental issues caused by physical insecurities and perfect-oriented behavior.

BUT, in capital and bold, BUT..this film was captured in the cringiest, ugliest, most awkward form you'll ever imagined, rather than it's general focus on the "psychological drama / mystery / horror (religious touch)" or whatever the hell the team was trying to capture.

It was so fabricated in the way you (film geeks) can easily know where this particular idea was coming from, where you've seen this scenes before, in what film have you watched this conversation before, so on and so forth.

One more cringiest thing I wanna write about this film is..despite of their family background and whatever the hell their attitude came for my nerve, this film took place in Indonesia and capturing Indonesian "rich" family issues (who married a cinderella from a village with her problematic mother)..and that kid (daughter) barely used Indonesian language in a rather unusual setting and unnecessary conversation with the whole film throughout.

For me, this looks as if they initially tried to recycle the "Hidayah" kind of film that took place in 2025 era, with a more highly rich and (wannabe) respected family setting, added by a 180º degree different touch of religion and belief. No offense

Other than the ideas and reality I'd have to watch in a longest 1h 50m crappy film like this, the emotionless characters, weak-willed husband (father) living with 3 alpha girls, a yapping and too controlling grandmother (mother in law), and unrequited MUA who suddenly become the fortune-teller of the film's ending? This film is just wasting your time if you're watching it intentionally. Even if I watched it with a 1.5x speed on Netflix, this gave no values, meaning, nor brand new feelings towards the characters or both the story itself.

Try again, never.

I thought Indonesian Movie was starting to level up, daring to make a psychological thriller like this one. A genre I actually quite enjoy. At the beginning, my eyes were spoiled by the life of Mila, a socialite who lives a life that seemed too good to be true. But the truth is, theres no such thing as a perfect life. Mila faces a perfectionist mother-in-law, Jonathan, who always prioritizes his mother over Mila, the problems of her teenage daughter, Angel, who feels she's not as beautiful as her mother, and Mila's sudden onset of a skin rash. Initially, I thought this was just a trivial matter of Mila not being honest about having had facial surgery. But when the little girl named Grace appeared, covered in glass and blood on her face, I began to have higher expectations for the ending. However, until the end, the rather bloody drama didn't live up to my expectations. Not to mention Erika's role a bit confusing me. I have no idea whether she's a good person or vice versa. But its a good movie for discussion, tho.

Sooo many movies are just re-telling and remakes, nowadays it was nice to see something different. The movie is a little slow to start but worth the watch. The lead actress that plays Milla is a stand out as is her daughter Angel. The movie definitely has some timeless messages always worth a reminder, beauty isn't everything and it's definitely more important to be true to yourself.
