Layangan Putus has a new concept to offer: What happens if the man chose his mistress? The movie knows its audiences and spare all the boring stuff to get us to whole awkwardness, fight, screams, and tears for the entire time. This gotta be the most dramatic drama movie I've ever seen.
There is nothing new that sets this film apart from the series (aside of Kinan's character), which surprisingly gives new flavor. Raihaanun able to be a more expressive Kinan than Marino, which gives depth for Kinan's character in this movie, but I always imagine how Marino would play it. Geraldine and Rahadian just as the same as the series.
If you love the series, you would like this movie a lot. This movie knows not to take itself too seriously, since the characters aren't realistic (styling, mostly... You'll be surprised at what is their choice of dress to attend kids performance at school).
One main problem is the plot, the plot tries to punish Aris character too much, while in reality that doesn't seem logical and happens at the same time for the sake of giving the audiences the satisfaction. This makes the movie seems "exploitative" and with the similar technical treatment with the series, it felt like a special episode that should've been stayed there.
