Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap is finally out on Netflix and I wanted to prove what most viewers have been said positively about this movie. And I totally agree with them.
I am Batak and I can relate to almost all of the situations, drama, values, critics, and messages that Bene wished to convey to the audiences. Critics being well-delivered are about Batak men masculinity, parent-children rigid relationship, gender inequality, and the holiness of Batak culture.
Its setting and location could not be more perfect than this, and I did not miss small details like the red plates and glasses, that 'special' terpal on the culture ceremony, and those fried spicy dencis or sardens that have reminded me of my childhood memories.
For me Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap is a top notch and honest family drama, and truly deserved its reputation. Hope more people would watch it and get the messages.
Peace and horas!
