Biarkan Bintang Menari

Biarkan Bintang Menari (Let's The Star Dance) actually a proper humanistic drama with some intense sequences. The premise is quite interesting, how reality and hope sometimes can collide. The act of the cast, especially Ariyo as Grey (personification of human character), where this is his film feature debut, he proves that he is as good as a singer. Ladya Cherril as the lead actress is mediocre, repeating her Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? act. Perhaps Ms. Ladya should explore another character type?

One thing, and it's a major thing, bother me is the musical number. What about it? Well, there's some note that I can relate to:

1. There's almost nothing a memorable song, not even a hummingable one.

2. The insert of the song seemingly derivative and came from nowhere and that's so annoying when watching the movies.

3. The musical is interrupting our emotion during watching the movies. When we seem drifts by the scene, the emotion is suddenly broken by the musical.

4. The dance sequences should choreograph with more serious. I know it meant comical, but not convincing at all; it dull!

So, after that disastrous "Andai Ia Tahu", actually Indra Yudhistira did a fine job. Sadly, he's totally wrong when he thinks he could make a good musical. Maybe he should watch Bollywood movies as inspiration instead?
