The film begins with a strong story, presenting a good mythological tale, but as it moves on to introduce the main character, the pace becomes fast and unclear.

The fragmented scenes are not well-organized, causing the audience to fail to grasp the purpose of each scene.

I also don't understand why some people give positive reviews about this film. The story is indeed good, but it's not well-structured, leaving many questions unanswered.

I hope reviews focus more on other aspects without viewing the film solely from a belief-based perspective.

I just wanna make it clear that this film have potential but not recommended. Even the action its not entertaining.

"I don't understand why this film received such a poor rating. This is the first film that I find very realistic. It portrays the actual conditions of the Indonesia-Malaysia border region, where the culture and social dynamics are the same but the countries are different, depicted very well.

This is the work of the genius anthropologist Dave Lumenta, which describes the conditions at the end of the New Order era in Indonesia. Perhaps viewers or outsiders' expectations might not grasp this and assume it is merely fantasy."

"I have never seen an Indonesian film that is truly bold in presenting a very sensitive story, such as the Dayak tribal customs, communism, and mysticism, all within a single narrative."

"I had high expectations for this film, and perhaps that's why I gave it a poor rating. The enticing title made me hopeful for beautiful settings and strong drama. I only lasted 30 minutes watching it before fast-forwarding. The characters that appeared also did not support the emotional impact of the film. It's a huge waste of time."

Even the main character's tears fail to add any atmosphere to the film. The ending is very peaceful, and the story is flat."

Sorry but this is my real views about this movie. Hope someone who have different thought will respect about my honest view.

Terima kasih.
