Gie, adapted from Soe Hok Gie’s diary Catatan Seorang Demonstran, skillfully brings to life the passionate and critical youth through strong performances, especially by Nicholas Saputra. The film’s well-structured story and aesthetic choices, including language, color, and music, enrich the viewing experience despite some inconsistent character development and unnecessary scenes. Overall, it remains a compelling drama worth watching repeatedly for its emotional depth and portrayal of a complex historical figure.
