Harlot's Prayer

Have yet to read the novel, but I'm sure some changes are necessary if it's about to be brought over to the big screen. That said, I don't know whether or not the tonal shift in the latter act really happened in the novel. Overall the movie was still kinda believable up until that point where afterwards I no longer feel the movie was still realistic. I don't mind it at all though, cause a good story is a good story.

The non linear plot also served a nice contrast to Kiran before and after her transformation. I'm quite confident some accolades are in order for this movie, especially some acting nods for Aghniny Haque. Kinda surprising to have her reunite with Djenar Maesa Ayu so soon after Pemandi Jenazah though.
