A remarkable addition to Indonesian cinema in 2024

Home Sweet Loan is a touching and relatable Indonesian romantic/family drama that captures the spirit of Almira Bastari's bestselling novel. Director Sabrina Rochelle Kalangie expertly brings the story to life on screen, preserving its emotional richness in a refreshingly genuine manner.The film centers on Kaluna, a young woman who becomes the pillar of her family as she faces various challenges and works towards a brighter future. Viewers are drawn into Kaluna's journey, feeling her struggles and cheering for her achievements. Widya Arifianti showed us that she's a real star in this role... she used to be a second unit crew member, a writer and an assistant director, but after this role she can be only a star that shines brightly!Kalangie's direction shines, too - creating an authentic atmosphere that resonates with the audience. The film honestly depicts the challenges many young Indonesians encounter, such as the longing for a stable home and the pressure to set aside personal dreams.The true strength of Home Sweet Loan lies in its ability to tackle complex themes through a straightforward yet impactful narrative. The film's pacing and structure keep viewers engaged, while the cast delivers strong performances that bring the characters to life.In summary, Home Sweet Loan is a must-see for fans of the novel and anyone who enjoys heartfelt family dramas. Its exploration of love, sacrifice, and the quest for happiness will leave a lasting impact, making it a remarkable addition to Indonesian cinema in 2024. Highly recommended!

Reasonable

Hi guys, I just finished watching it on Netflix. And this is quite an interesting film for an Indonesian film.Raising the issue of the sandwich generation. And I think this film successfully gives a picture or POV of people who are affected by the sandwich generation. But the story is very cliché in my opinion. But I don't like the pacing here, at the beginning it feels really long, then suddenly it's about to end.The acting is really cool here, the audience can get the emotional delivery. But there are too many soundtracks here, it would be nice if they used orchestral scoring for example.Well, it's enough for an Indonesian family drama film, I do feel that this film is really looking for its market. Oh and I think there are many potential shots that could be better.

THE REAL MATURE FILM

Home Sweet Loan is a touching and most relatable film. By raising themes about family, friendship, dreams, patience and struggle. The story of this film is really touching and will be even more relatable for the sandwich generation. The drama in this film is written in a very mature way and we feel Kaluna's struggle to pursue her dream of having her own home. In this film we will feel all kinds of emotions, starting from happy, sad and angry with really good phases, so it's not like laughing and then suddenly feeling sad, it's not like that. The dialogues are also good because they use purely everyday language. The characterization is also good, we are made to feel in with Kaluna, whether she is sad or happy, we feel the same way. The pacing is really perfect, every act doesn't feel slow or fast. Even though the cinematography is simple, it can make us feel the emotions in every scene. There is one scene with cool sound editing, although it's not really anything special. This film also has its own OST which is also delicious and blends with the vibe of the film. The acting of the actors is extraordinary, the chemistry of each actor is really good. Overall, this could be the most relatable Indonesian film this year.
