    I didn't expect this film to be this good!

    This is a masterpiece that exceeded all my expectations. The cinematography is absolutely stunning, with each frame beautifully composed and capturing the mood perfectly. The dialogue feels genuine and heartfelt, resonating deeply with the characters' emotions and experiences. The unique concept brings a refreshing take on romance, blending just the right amount of realism with a touch of fantasy that keeps the story engaging from beginning to end.

    The actors deliver powerful performances that make the characters feel real and relatable, adding an emotional depth that elevates the entire experience. The director has crafted a beautiful journey that speaks to anyone who's ever dreamed of a love that feels cinematic yet grounded in truth. This film is not only visually impressive but also emotionally impactful. It's rare to find a romantic film that's so well-rounded and thoughtful. Truly, Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film is a gem in contemporary cinema, and I'm still in awe of its brilliance. I can't recommend it highly enough.

    More than just like a Film

    An excellent Indonesian film in meticulously combining a cheesy melodrama romance movie with a more artistic film. They bring both a popcorn-eating-couch movie and a film shown in award shows, by making the plot quite simple for general audiences to grasp, but also presenting cinematic techniques for critics to enjoy. This combination is prominent in how they add explanations of technical things in the dialogues. Which is also another amazing thing they succeed in, making exposition enjoyable.

    Although the slow tempo might be off putting for some people, they still managed to make the audiences hooked with the natural dialogues and acting. Furthermore, they put many references to the real life, thus adding comedies by breaking the fourth wall. Indonesian audiences would understand the references, however, international audiences need to do research to understand them. Perhaps they didn't think about this film reaching the international audiences.

    Bottom line is this film is splendid, very light and visually pleasing film. I highly recommend it!

    Appreciate for Brilliant Fun Movie

    First 15 minutes of the movie, I thought it would be like One cut of the dead, where the story is the same as what the character filming... But its not like that apparently...

    For a slow pace movie its really worth to wait and watch the ending, and I didn't expect the ending of the story. Yandy Lauren is a great writer and director in making this film... The cast is really suit themselves, and that makes the characters chemistry is very good on screen.

    And I don't care black and white thing in movie, because its just the same for me, as long as the story is good like this. Because what makes movie really great is the story.

    Its a very fun movie, recommended to watch... And the last thing, appreciate Yandy Lauren for making this brilliant movie...

    A Sweet and Cinematic Romance

    Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film is an Indonesian romantic drama that feels like a warm hug to those who adore love stories and the art of cinema. Directed with a gentle and personal touch, the film offers a narrative that is both touching and nostalgic, wrapped in a cinematic atmosphere that evokes a sense of longing and affection.

    I give this movie an 8 out of 10 because it delivers a heartfelt love story that's simple yet emotionally resonant. The dialogue feels sincere, and the characters' interactions create a natural chemistry that brings the story to life. There's a quiet charm in the way the film unfolds-slow, steady, and full of warmth.

    One of its strongest elements is how it treats the world of cinema-not just as a setting, but as a meaningful metaphor. The visuals are beautifully crafted with warm tones, soft lighting, and a score that enhances the emotional depth of each scene.

    While the story doesn't break new ground and follows a familiar structure, it's told with care and elegance. This is the kind of film you watch when you crave emotional sincerity, cinematic beauty, and a reminder of how love and storytelling are forever intertwined.

    Extraordinary and unique movie

    At first i was like getting some bored because of the slow pace of the movie (i dont really like slow pace movies). But slowly i getting really interested about the characters development in this movie.

    Instead of giving the audience some melodrama or ordinary romance movies out there, this movie really gives new expirience of watching rom-com movie.. and not to mention the black and white concept, it was really brilliant.

    I really recommend this movie for all ages, because this movie just mixed our emotions and feelings, and also a great great shout out to Yandy Lauren for making this movie.

    I can't wait to see your next extraordinary movies.
