Photocopier

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.

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.

The plot was unique and well-conceived, but the execution wasn't. It was obvious right from the beginning that this not going to be a run-of-the-mill movie & it wasn't. The young actress beautifully played the main character of Sur. She definitely knows how to put in a power performance, but even she was under-used.

Wasn't too high on the suspense factor as well. Rama, going to take a picture at 2am when it's raining, was a dead giveaway, and his father offering Sun to pay for her entire scholarship, killed the suspense was left by then. Having figured out the culprit so early, takes the intrigue factor away.

A good movie to watch once if you are not critic minded & get satisfied with going-with-the-flow.

I was no so sure if I should watch this movie as the movie is from Indonesia. It is co-written and directed by Wregas Bhanuteja . I got glued to the movies as Movie is tech Mystery Crime Thriller. I believe Netflix should focus on Cinema with good content only. I strongly recommend this movie.

It's a long film, but a story many girls and women all over the world will be all too familiar with. And the struggles women have to fight against the system. Especially with people pushing doubt towards them, and their stories.

The ending is the most powerful thing about the film, and was incredibly inspiring.
