Overall, this film feels quite clichéd, both in its story and execution. There are many moments that feel off, especially in the way the supporting characters are written. One clear example is Arya, who comes across as nothing more than a narrative device—someone who exists simply to give Raim an obstacle to overcome. Beyond that, his character doesn’t really go anywhere. As a result, Arya feels insignificant, especially when the real barrier to the relationship is actually religion. His character could have been explored more deeply, rather than just being portrayed as another man in love with Komang and a hindrance to Raim.
Another major issue appears in the third act, which feels extremely rushed. One moment that stands out is when Komang suddenly decides not to go through with the marriage, justified only by the film stating that she “doesn’t love him.” I think this decision needed a much stronger build-up—whether through showing Arya’s struggle more clearly or developing Komang’s internal conflict—so her choice would feel earned and emotionally convincing. Because this part is underdeveloped, the audience’s empathy toward the characters becomes shaky and unfocused.
Visually, several shots also feel ineffective. Many scenes come across as merely documenting events rather than telling a story or carrying emotional weight.
That said, the film isn’t outright bad. It just feels undercooked in many areas, with several elements that could have worked much better if they had been developed and polished more carefully.
