Some people watch GJLS: Ibuku Ibu Ibu and come out confused, disappointed, or eager to overanalyze it like it's an arthouse drama. Which is fascinating, considering the tagline literally says: #SiapGoblok. It's almost poetic - walking into a funhouse and getting mad because the mirrors are distorted.

This film knows exactly what it is: absurd, chaotic, hilarious, and unashamed. It doesn't try to impress with complexity-it invites you to laugh at the very absurdity we often see in everyday life (and in ourselves). The GJLS trio aren't just characters; they're reflections of how we, as a society, often act before we think-loud, messy, but oddly familiar.

And yet, some people still insist on treating every film like an academic paper. If there's no long-winded explanation or symbolic subtext, they dismiss it as "low effort." Ironically, they miss the brilliance hidden in the chaos-because true satire doesn't come with a label saying "please take this seriously."

And to those who'll surely dislike this review? Just scroll down and look for the thumbs down - that's where the "overthinkers anonymous" usually gather.

If you didn't enjoy the film, maybe it's not the movie that didn't get the point-maybe it's you.
