Welcome to the wild, wild east. Director Mouly Surya delivers a spaghetti western with a strong Indonesian flavour in this stunning revenge drama. Marlina (Marsha Timothy) is a young widow living alone in a remote farmhouse and when arrogant, marauding robbers arrive, they feel entitled to take whatever they please. The quick-witted Marlina has very different ideas, which play out in a clever, subversive widescreen saga filled with splendid characters, and a terrific musical score that would make Ennio Morricone proud.

VarietyAt once tightly controlled and simmering with righteous fury, it's gorgeously lensed, atmospherically scored and moves inexorably toward a gratifying payoff.
Magda Rotko, Print Traffic CoordinatorHow could you not want to see a feminist western set in picturesque, sun-drenched Indonesian countryside, that will make you both laugh out loud and bite your nails, and will teach you that revenge is best served with chicken soup? This one is not to be missed!
