I had been eagerly anticipating this film for about two weeks before its premiere and made sure to tell my mom about it. When I shared the title and a brief synopsis, she seemed a bit puzzled. She initially thought it was just another low-budget teen romance movie, a genre neither of us particularly enjoys. She questioned why I was so insistent on watching it and remained uninterested. When the day of the premiere arrived, I found myself quietly sobbing during one of the early scenes. I asked my mom for some tissues, and as she glanced at my tear-streaked face, she gave me a bit of a condescending laugh along with the tissues. To her surprise, she ended up crying even more than I did, three times over!

A very worthy film to watch because it contains a lot of education that can be taken, such as the impact of excessive "dating style", in this film it is also taught that communication between children and parents is very important.

The film expressly tells the story of what has remained taboo in society. Although the beginning was widely opposed, the film successfully demonstrated the importance of sex education for adolescents. All aspects are well crafted, despite some of its drawbacks. Worth it to watch.

Where to begin, this movie is spectacular first and foremost. The directing, the writing, maybe a little lacking in the acting department but it's understandable since the main characters are newcomer in the department, but superb acting from the senior actors nonetheless. So, right off the bat, I'll congratulate Gina S. Noer for her directorial debut, she did spectacularly through this movie. She's no newbie at this business and it shows. The shots were beautiful, some of the scene even though taken at Indonesia's slum area, those shots were a scene stealer, particularly the bridge scene. Also the infirmary scene with the long take, those are some killer shots I tell ya. The writing and acting is pretty good as well, and I personally felt that this movie has more than 1 climax point which is good because they divided it evenly between climax. One of the best scene is when all of the actors were grouped in the school infirmary, Lulu Tobing, Cut Mini, Dwi Sasono played their part perfectly. Zara and Angga also great particularly in this part as a scared and confused teenager, sadly they are a bit lacking in few of their line deliveries. The scores are also great, good choice of songs to fill the background with, particularly naif with their "Jikalau" really fits the film. For such a long time Indonesia needs this kind of movie, educating us about the importance of sex ed, the communication between parents and their children and how we're supposed to face a certain condition when we're faced with one. All in all, I gave it 8/10, it is a GOOD movie, just go watch it before it is pulled from the cinema :)

A movie that proposes a central theme about sex education, how important it is and the consequences if one not learn in an early age. It relates with the 21st century millennials who think that personal boundaries is not an issue. What I love is that the film brings you of the similar concept that has been recycled, but the execution is different. It shows you a set of different plot-points to let the audience go down a different road from what you have seen before. The performances by the actors are executed brilliantly. You can see the differences between the struggles of two families regarding the same subject. The cinematography is on an international level! It blends in arthouse and commercial styles of camera movements that are both creative and innovative. What's even better is that there is one crucial scene that longs its one-shot for 5 minutes! A film that throws in effective jokes that makes the whole audience giggles. These one-liner do not overshadow the serious tone of the film that needs to be addressed to the public which is a good thing. P.S: Be prepared to hurt your stomach during the fruit scene in the hospital. 😂 From beginning 'till the end, all songs that are featured suit the tone of the film. The lyrics are melancholic and they are all great enough, making you want to Google the soundtrack back at home. Fast introduction scene. The movie should have invested some time on character developments so that audience may be able to express true emotional on the unethical action that leads to ebing the theme of Dua Garis Biru. The concept however, feels derivative. It has been done quite many times in advertisements, 7 o'clock dramas, and movies from different countries. Being a huge fan of his, Angga Yunanda's dark skin tone irritates me as it is unsuitable with his look. He looks unnatural and the makeup team should have not asked him to undergo the tanning process under the scorching sun. Verdict: Better than both Ada Apa Dengan Cinta and Dilan, Dua Garis Biru is a film that touches many hearts. If there is one Indonesian film to send to the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, Dua Garis Biru is at the top of the line.
