Ben & Jody (2022)

Succeeds in integrating exciting action aspects to 'Filosofi Kopi' movie series

[6/10 · 13 February 2022]

Not without its fair share of missteps, but Angga Dwimas Sasongko's 'Ben & Jody' succeeds in integrating exciting action aspects to his 'Filosofi Kopi' movie series. The movie tries to hit social commentaries about agrarian conflict and violence toward peasants, as well as law enforcement misconduct and grassroots movements, but they aren't really concentrated enough to maximize the film's objective. Not bad.
