    Yikes.

    This is an awful movie, played with cringey actors and actresses, with a weird storyline that doesn't make sense at times.

    The acting of the main female character is horrible, even though I can't deny that she's one of Indonesia's prettiest actresses. But she just exaggerates her actions A LOT. She actually just does basic little things like running and such, but I couldn't help but to cringe. Her actions are too much it burns my eyes. Although the main male character's acting is not bad, but I don't see the chemistry between the two. It feels so forced, although supposedly, they are in love or something.

    And while the acting is horrendous, the story is something else. The story starts out nicely, like in Indonesia there was some sort of chaos where Chinese-Indonesians were racially-profiled, in which it led to theft and abuse to the specific race. So, the girl, being a Chinese-Indonesian, decides to go to Singapore to seek for shelter. But from the middle of the movie it goes quite confusing. The girl is like so obsessed in money, she does everything to get money. Although in this movie she is short on money and it's quite understandable for her to be that way, but perhaps because of once again, the acting of the actress, it becomes unbearable to watch. And as for the love story told, it just feels...unreal. Movies aren't real indeed, but it is supposed to capture the audiences' heart, and it has utterly failed to do so.

    Just, don't waste your time watching this. I was forced to watch this because my teacher wanted us to make a resume from the movie, in which I couldn't help but to cringe while the entire movie was playing.

    Just, don't.
