Ave Maryam

The whole point of this movie is to be artisanal, beautiful cinematography and sparse dialogue. This leaves a lot to be desired in terms of character depth, musical scoring, and any kind of plot.

This Film is so beautiful with excellent cinematography. The movie is not a religious film (like I thought before) but a love story, a forbidden one, a story of lust and guilt. Sometimes love can be complicated but stil it is Beautiful. The performaces of Maudy as Maryam is awesome. She is "the star" of the Movie😊 and I love the set.. Especially when Pastor Josef have his orchestra playing at Lawang Sewu Semarang. Beautiful..❤

7,5 for the story and 9 for the DOP. This film has a simple story but the DOP and cinematography amazing

Very outstanding DOP and great story, in very low budget (i beleive) in scene setup, such as modern car, and in train station its not like 1980's, its very recent.

Beautifully written, shot, diction. Ave Maryam is about a nun who live in Semarang that has her confusion what will she choose, the love or the vows she made. The story just as simple as that, what makes it more beautiful is the story with beautiful diction. "If my heaven is not promised by, then why I bothered your hell?" --this line is my most memorable words from this movie. Also beautiful cinematography. Love the Semarang shot and the beach shot. The acting is brilliant by its lead actress, Maudy Koesnaedi. Her acting just describe her confussion, her confession, her sadness. This movie have minuses. The dub of the conversation bothered me, not exact naturally from the movie. And there is shot of a beach, the priest give birthday cake for the sister, with candle afire. Beach, we know that that place is very windy right, and the candle is not out! Wow magic! Over all this movie offers you different Indonesian cinematic experience. Oh yes, this movie also told us about diversity, love, confession and faith.
