Una mujer normal

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.

It must be a cultural thing but I could not imagine being in a situation like the one portrayed in this awful movie. I gave it three stars because the house where they filmed it was very nice. But the acting was overly dramatic, like a play; all the characters were unlikable except for the elderly maid; the plot was stupid; the mother in law was insufferable; the husband was a mama's boy; the daughter was ugly and they spoke in English to each other in some of the scenes. What's up with that? But I'm not familiar with Indonesian culture so who knows? Character development was very slow because of all the overacting.

I watched this on Netflix to see what an Indonesian movie was like. I hung in there for the two long hours but am I proud of it....no. Will I remember it after tonight, probably not. Will it keep me from watching any more foreign films probably yes.

Like what even is this? And Netflix says it's number 5 in my country. Like who's watching this nonsense? Are those even accurate anymore?

A lot of dramatic illogical reactions. Idek what was going on. I'm just mad I wasted my time thinking something worthwhile will happen. I should have come here first. I'm so mad about wasting my time lol. Don't waste yours.

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.

I can't stand the movie. I had to fast forward this movie.

The husband and mother in law are hard to watch. So typical indonesian story where the rich husband listens to his mum and mother in law is so mean.

Such a bad story to blame on the wife when the wife has gone thru so much. Of course the wife is stressed, how could you now stressed when you live with husband and mother in law like that.
