Film Review I Think You're Home, Representing Children's Feelings That Are Difficult To Convey To Parents

Film I Think You're Home (MD Pictures)

JAKARTA - The film Kukira Kau Rumah is a different youth spectacle. This film tells the story of Pram (21 years old), a lonely young man, since middle school his father has died, and his mother is busy working. Pram fills his days by playing music and composing songs while working at a music cafe. Until then, Pram knew Niskala (19 years).

Pram was then close to Niskala, and one thing that Pram did not know at that time was Niskala, who is bipolar. Niskala actually studied secretly without the knowledge of his father, Dedi (50 years old). Niskala's only goal was to prove to his father that even with his illness, Niskala would still be able to excel.

This is only known by Mela (48 years old), Niskala's mother, and two of Niskala's friends, Oktavianus (20 years old) and Dinda (19 years old). With that condition, basically Niskala's condition is very limited. But since Pram became familiar with Niskala, Niskala's life has changed.

The film Kukira Kau Rumah appears surprisingly, out of the genre of teenage casual stories. This premiere film made by Umay Sahab flows smoothly and is easy to enjoy. But the message to be conveyed can be captured easily without patronizing.

Prilly Latuconsina's acting is very convincing with drastic ups and downs of emotional changes. There is a point where Prilly is required to act without words only with the eyes, and the impression penetrates to the soul. Jourdy Pranata also gives maximum performance to provide a third person point of view in this film.

The songs specially prepared to strengthen the OST Kukira Kau Rumah plays an important role in managing the emotions of the audience. In the end, it is not only mental health that is displayed, but also things that have been difficult for children to convey to their parents are well represented.

Prilly's courage as a producer to raise the issue of mental health in this film deserves thumbs up. Because it's not easy to make a teen love story that is easy to follow and entertaining, but this film provides more.

However, be prepared with some uncomfortable points in the film Kukira Kau Home. Talking about pain, of course there is discomfort that is displayed. Or a scene that is difficult for reason to accept will appear, because indeed we rarely care about mental health.
