    Photocopier

    I saw the trailer on Netflix's YouTube channel, and I was really intrigued, especially by the accolades I saw it was getting before it got acquired by Netflix. I was also sceptical to see it, because it's an Indonesian movie, and I'm sure I've not watched anything from that country.

    I couldn't exactly remember the trailer as I was seeing the movie, and I think that's good, because everything felt fresh. The phrase 'never judge a book by its cover' or in this case 'never judge a movie by its country of origin' rings absolutely true!

    A pure cinematic wonder from start to finish! The movie packs a sprawling number of elements and ties them all fastidiously. The finale is so emotive and inspiring, and seeing how it relates to the title of the movie holds much more value. The plot, the pacing, the runtime, the cast... Perfecto!

    Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a long while, and It's a definite recommendation. I'm excited to see more Indonesian movies.

    Impact vs. execution

    The movie tells a story, tells us something that is not just impactful but important. Now having said, it does take its time. So pacing wise, even if you agree with people loving this, you are allowed to disagree with the execution of the movie and how it deals or handles certain aspects.

    Having said all that, the last impression is quite the strong one. We see what our main character goes through, what she has to endure and what is being said. If you have a moral compass that has the "right" settings, you will be left quite angry at times ... a lot of times that is. On the other hand, maybe that ending will change that .. not sure if it is enough, but it is quite the image it creates - no pun intended.

    So powerful you must watch

    Wonderfully shot and expertly executed. Photocopier dives deep into the dark side of Indonesian culture and does not pull it's punches exploring treatment of women, mental illness and exploitation of the poor whilst overlaying with more universal thenes around friendship, trust, socioeconomic power dynamics and young adulthood.

    Performances leap off the screen engaging the audience emotionally and holding one there throughout the duration. Pacing and in the edit is well thought out.

    Everyone involved in this film should be thoroughly proud. We want to see more stories of this calibre on our screens.

    hardly ever seen...

    Any indonesian features in my life, but if this is the mean of their film production, i might start searching for more...

    its a film about cheating and exploitation of the young and innocent, some will call it pedophelia, but the root of the story is a girl having a blackout due to alcohol comsume, next day her world is upside down, and she looses all her grants and everyones respect due too social and religious immorale.but this femme aint fatale, she take the burden and starts digging though legal and illegal methods to find out why and how...

    the cast delivers very convincingly, the language and cultural barriere makes my evaluatiuon versus the moral code somehow limited,ive worked with 2 indonesians at the nursing home that i work, but having seen western productions over the same topic, i can tell theyve made a good product, as a man i can just say that the actresses casted for this movie is just smashing beautiful, and they could easily enter international fame with good language training.

    Filmographically its high standard, some times the cam is too close to lock out surroundings, but the filming techniques are well managed. Also the presentation and use of social media as main source for the action of the movie are brilliant, hollywood prods pepper us with visual sms that comes and goes so fast, here theyve managed to tell the whole story from it, and thus that at a far lower budget...do also sense the abscence of music in large parts of this movie, usually a helping hand for a plot, but appears strong as a method in this flick

    so i give my acclamation to the makers, and thanks for an unusual digital investigation.blackouts or not, the grumpy old man had loads of them when young adult and wish i could and would love to rewind and puzzle them together as they did in this flick, but its all over for me noiw and just nightmares of the past, but ill make a note behind my ear for my next lifetime.

    A recommend for the acts, filming and story comes from the grumpy old man.
