Ipar Adalah Maut

Don't waste your time watching this movie. It's so boring and predictable. You can tell from the first time the male lead shows up that he will be, well, trash. There's no better way to describe his character.

Need I say that the plot is so slow and stupid. It's too cliche and disgusting.

If you are reading this review, you'd probably want to watch this film or just finished watching it. Maybe you saw some trending videos of this movie on social media but yeah, please go ahead and watch it if you have nothing better to do with your life. I watched it because I love the main actresses, she played in some good shows but this movie did her bad. Even so, she is the only character worth watching in this movie.

This film is pure TRASH!! Hanung shows no progress as a director-each time he makes a "true story" film, it gets worse. Ipar Adalah Maut is based on a real story that went viral, but honestly, listening to the full version on popular podcasts is far more interesting than watching this movie.

The plot feels cheap and exaggerated, filled with unrealistic scenes and forced emotions. The storytelling loses its connection to reality - exaggerating but unfortunately it makes the story so BAD! What makes it worse is how far the film drifts from the actual chronology of the true events. The real-life story was much more intense, emotional, and painful than this shallow adaptation. Completely waste of my time!

Another Indonesian drama movie based on true event, especially about marriage. You can search the real drama on Google (though I'm not sure how much was it seasoned due to popularity). This kind of movie can triggered those who have trauma about marriage. On the other hand, the story was a bit compact and rushed. But, those who loves drama (I mean a real overacting drama) can certainly enjoy this movie!
