    Help my tears are flowing

    "Berpikir bisa punya hidupku sendiri tuh salah gitu rasanya" "Tahu gimana waktu mikirin diri sendiri, kok jadi ngerasa bersalah ya?"

    Sooo relateable as sandwich gen.

    He's such a good character that i wonder how proud his parents (fiction) would be of him. His brother and sister too (not eka en osa) are also a good people that the kids are so kind.

    Slice of life story that hits too close to home to many people especially asian sandwich gen. Also Eka's character is so close to reality. A literal parasite that keeps yapping as if they're magnificent but actually a loser. No character development of him because irl people like him wouldn't change for the better too.

    It's because they are such a sweetheart that it doesn't feel like a burden. All the suffering feels worth it because the reason aka the family is worth it. That's why the trust between family members is soo important. I feel the warmth of this family but also longing for the same.

    Yandy Laurens is a genius

    1 Kakak 7 Ponakan is a beautifully crafted family drama that proves Yandy Laurens is a genius in storytelling. The film is a heartfelt exploration of familial bonds, especially resonating with the sandwich generation, earning a solid 9/10 or even a 9.2/10 if you find yourself in their shoes. Its simplicity is its strength-offering a story that's unassuming yet profoundly meaningful.

    This warm and emotional film delivers moments that will make you cry deeply while reminding you of the importance of family. However, a minor drawback is the depiction of a character so angelic that it leans towards being unrealistic. Despite this, the film remains a masterpiece that celebrates love, sacrifice, and growth within the chaos of family life.

    warm flow and dialogue

    Truly a drama that warms the whole heart and soul. The choice of words is good, not cheesy and not forced. The portion of sadness is also just right so that we who watch it are not made full of sadness but are made warm. The music is also very unified from each sceneworthy. The writing of the characteristics of the characters is really fitting and they share their feelings for each other and still make sense. For much or even almost all of this film the depiction is very, very good, the coloring techniques are very suitable for the content of the story. There is no reason to miss this film, which is just the right length, even though it is 2 hours long, but it is very satisfying. Worth watching!!!

    Nice for all

    Yandy Laurens it's the best director, i think he writte a story with heart and him feelings. Such as from a technical perspective, cinematography, directing the actors optimally so as to produce a good storyline. And then in giving the image colors that tend to be natural without using a lot of filters so that I can feel the aesthetic that Yandy wants to give. In essence, the technical matters in this film it's good enough, but I think Freya's role as Nina in this film still has shortcomings. She is a new actress in film, so the emotions she plays still feel a little fake and stiff. Good film.

    Very inspiring

    This film teaches how beautiful family is in our lives. Likewise, no matter how difficult the conditions are Family is the place for us to return to, as well as Moko who had to make sacrifices for his younger siblings where he gave up everything His ambition is to study for a Masters in Melbourne, and Moko continues to struggle to make a living. His younger siblings because he thinks they are a priority, and I conclude that No matter how difficult the conditions are, you cannot live without family. Love for your family, your family is your home. Keep spirit FAMILY WARRIOR. You can live because of them, and family is everything.
