✗ SKIP — Not worth it

Amalia, Bachelor of Law

1981 · 1h 58m · Drama

Skip it—this Indonesian legal drama sounds like a well-intentioned character study that gets bogged down in melodrama and unrequited love subplot instead of diving deep into the actual legal or moral questions worth exploring. Without critical validation or a standout reputation to back it up, there are better character-driven dramas out there demanding your attention tonight.
