What do you think of Love? What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you heard the word ‘Love’? girlfriend or boyfriend, husband or wife, family or even happiness? Some of you think that love is spending a good time with a person whom you like. Well, it is true but does love really bring happiness? Have you ever wondered that love can bring tragedy? Fiksi will show you the dark side of love.
            Alisha (Ladya Cheryl) is a daughter of a billionaire. She only spends her time in his big house with a house assistant, gardener and a bodyguard. She never feels alive. One day, she sees Bari (Donny Alamsyah) as a substitute gardener for 1 week. Seeing that he is so lively not like fake people she usually meets, Alisha has some interest in Bari so one day she follows him. She falls in love with Bari and chooses to run away from her house. Obsessed with Bari, she moves to flats where he lives, even she occupies the room next to his room. She attempts to get Bari attention using any means necessary.

            Cheryl’s acting in this film is a top class. Her beautiful and innocent face really match with Alisha’s character who never experiences the real world. Fortunately, her gorgeous looks followed by a great acting. She can change suddenly into a psychopath Alishia. There is no much difference in facial expression of Innocent Alishia and Psychopath Alishia, however, you can feel the difference in their aura. Cheryl really shows us a wonderful performance. Other main casts, Alamsyah, also gives a good performance. His carefree acting is very natural. Thus, he has a good chemistry with every character.
            Another thing that is worth to be pointed out is that this film is so tight. It means that there is no useless scene. From the beginning until the end of the film, your attention will be dragged by this film. You won’t aware that one hour and a half just pass by. This film also full of unpredictable things that will make you amazed. This film might be look simple at first but actually it is quite complicated. However, it is still easy to understand.

            The only weakness of this film is some awkwardness in some scenes. Even though Cheryl plays the character of Alisha greatly but when she acts with other characters there is some stiffness in the acting. She has a really good chemistry with Alamsyah anyway. Even though the focus of this film is Cheryl and Alamsyah and most of the scene is only the two of them. You can still see clearly the gawky when Cheryl acts with other characters and it is really bothered the viewers.
             All in all, this film tells about the dark side of love. If you want to try a different kind of romance films. fiksi is the right film and it will give you a new experience. If you search for a romance movie filled with a lot of romantic scenes, don’t see this film even though I will still personally recommend this film. The reason is simple. You experience a new adventure of romance when watching this film.
