Competently made and acted, but Ifa Isfansyah and Eddie Cahyono's modern take on 'Losmen Bu Broto' is mostly too schmaltzy for its own good. There are too many story threads and conflicts in this film, which makes it feel a little convoluted. Putri Marino's subtle performance and the movie's eye-popping art direction stand out. Too bad they're not enough to support the weight of the rest of the movie.

One of the best Indonesian family drama films
There might be nothing extraordinary with the plot. But the amazing cast and refined direction from Ifa Ifansyah and Eddie Cahyono made the film so impressive.
With a down-to-earth narrative and natural emotional arrangement, the film feels warm, touching, and at the same time comforting.
Watching Losmen Bu Broto feels like coming home and embracing the warmth of a family. Not perfect (well, no family is),but gives a solid sense of pleasantness.

The importance of family
An adaptation that welcome its audience with common but accurate conflicts and heartfelt conclusion. Ifa & Eddie provided nice hospitalities to see and feel during the show. Great ensemble cast gave satisfying performances to define the importance of family.
