Marissa Anita and Cut Mini attracted me in in order to watch this film (even though Cut Mini only appears in a few scenes). I'm constantly impressed by their acting. The premise, script, and visual arts of this film were nicely packed; I felt as if Ali was inviting me on his quest to uncover his mother's whereabouts in America. I also admired the performances of the other characters. The primary actor, Iqbaal as Ali, simply has to improve his acting skills. Even though I feel Iqbaal's acting performance in this film is quite good, there are a few parts that appear less natural and emotional, especially when he's crying. Despite the above, I honestly appreciated and loved this film.

As a fan of Dilan's story, the change in the actor playing Dilan did not disturb me and increased my interest in the story's continuation. Arbani Yasiz plays adult Dilan with a calmer and wiser style, as does Zee JKT48, who plays Ancika excellently, although there are a few parts that still appear stiff, particularly during the voiceover. The usage of a Sundanese accent in this film is more pronounced and heard than in previous films, yet one character (Ancika's friend) uses unsuitable Sundanese vocabulary often, including the phrase "Euy." The lack point of this film is the superficial conflict, which makes Ancika and Dilan's love story feel smooth. However, if you read the Ancika's novel there are some interesting conflicts that may be included in this film. Apart from that, what makes me like this film is that there are many new actors and actress who look fresher for Indonesian cinema.

A very worthy film to watch because it contains a lot of education that can be taken, such as the impact of excessive "dating style", in this film it is also taught that communication between children and parents is very important.

As his directorial debut, I think a 6 rating is enough to give to Umay. The director dared to make a film with a theme related to mental health (Bipolar Disorder), but unfortunately it was not explained in detail why the main character had bipolar disorder. The storyline of this film also is too rushed and displays too many songs/singings. In addition, this film puts more emphasis on "love" rather than "bipolar disorder". It would be better if the director could focus more on "bipolar disorder" rather than love stories that have been found in many Indonesian films.
