Movie review
From Time Out London
As memorable for its humanist warmth as it is for Nugroho’s deceptively light comedic touch, this lovingly directed movie inhabits the lives of a loose, intersecting group of Jakarta residents, notably those connected to a local market and an Islamic school, where plans are being hatched to build a new mosque. Nugroho has mounted all the action in a studio set and delivers an intimate drama which broaches difficult social, religious and generational issues with unusual subtlety and insight, garnering uniformly fine performances from a group actors of a wide age-range. A fine film.Author: WH
