It is no doubt that this film really intrigued people to see, as a matter of fact, I do really want to have Indonesian movies back to 1970's or early 1980's success, still to dump the horrors or the teenage dramas, not hate those genres, though. It just has been keep coming with low quality of scripts, actors, plot and forced only for profit.
Marlina is something. Submitting story background of natives with certain culture, certain tribe among hundreds of them in plural Indonesia is not the first time. But it is always interesting.
Marlina is shown in the style of Hateful Eight and Kill Bill in traditional way. Bet this is the major idea. I say it is well done.
Anyway, this compliment is coming with questions of critics:
1. Why Markus and gangs are such polite thugs? Aren't they supposed to be mean and harass Marlina on any chances?
2. Why Markus's decapitated head comes in smaller size and so light? Why Marlina shows it to everyone? Why the truck driver, Novi, the wedding attending lady and the man take it so easy? Showing shock and eerie is better for whole story, isn't it?
3. Why Marlina's clothes so clean all the time? Putting some dirt, mud or also any stains came from such very traditional kitchen is better for whole story, isn't it?
4. Marlina's bright skin tone as local is supposed to be one big issue to deal over other things, isn't it?
Last but not least, Marsha Timothy and Dea Penendra nail it. And thumbs up for the Korean CGI team.
