Wedding Agreement

Archie Hekagery's 2019 Indonesian film follows Bian, who marries to please his parents. His agreement with Tari is built on divorcing at the end of a year. Tari enters the house without knowing that. The film shows the daily life inside the household and Tari's patience at length; the narrative uses religious motifs openly and gives Bian's change slowly. Indah Permatasari and Refal Hady lead. The film found a wide audience in Indonesia and sequels followed. The tone is measured. Who it's for: those who like Indonesian romantic drama. Who it's not for: viewers troubled by a female character enduring throughout; the film frames that as a virtue.
