About This Movie

Baik Baik Sayang is a nuanced exploration of friendship and resilience among the boys at La Tansa Islamic boarding school. It captures the day-to-day lives of Apoy, Faank, Tomi, and Ovie, weaving their camaraderie with the challenges they face. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments of silence to speak volumes, while the performances are grounded and evoke a genuine sense of brotherhood. The atmosphere is rich with the complexities of youth, interlaced with themes of faith and personal growth. It’s interesting how the film eschews grand drama for a more intimate portrayal, focusing on the small, yet significant interactions that shape their lives. It’s distinctive in its simplicity; less about the spectacle and more about the heart of the relationships.
