Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Redundant and unnecessary.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I know the village - some there say "city" - where much of the Indonesian Holocaust of 1965- 1966 portrayed in "40 Years of Silence: An Indonesian Tragedy" was unleashed. Friends of the movie's main characters tell me that until today they are unable to mention - in any small reference - communism. Indeed, the non-indigenous researchers did a splendid job finding some of the community's most important actors to this very day. I love that place, and those people - they have been good to me, an outsider. We are always hoping they continue to be good to one another, insiders. As a movie review, I highly suggest that ALL persons of Indonesian educational background should see this excellent documentary. It discusses and denies the state sponsored "history" of 1965 propaganda movie that you who were students were forced to watch in local theaters since 1984; and as such, it presents a new truth.
