Fajar Nugros' 'Srimulat: Hil yang Mustahal - Babak Pertama' feels like sketches, bits, and pieces of a larger film. Certain writing decisions towards the film's treatment of a biopic may have seemed revolutionary on paper, but without strong emotional layering and execution to back it up, the results are simply bland. The performances are enjoyable, but the movie ultimately lets its audience down.
