Reviews

A

Alunauwie
Ride or Die boldly explores themes of LGBTQ+ identity and obsessive love through a dark, emotionally complex narrative. Despite its powerful premise, the film struggles with uneven pacing, underdeveloped chemistry, and overemphasis on physicality over emotional depth. Still, it offers a haunting look at how far someone will go for love. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com) and (English version : uwiepuspita.com)
