The way New York would have been portrayed, with all its details and atmosphere, would feel like more than just a backdrop-it would be part of the emotional landscape of the story. You'd see the city through the main character's eyes, and it would likely mirror her inner journey of dealing with love, loss, and self-discovery.

The mix of romance and introspection would probably leave me feeling a bit melancholic but hopeful. I imagine there would be moments in the film that make you pause and reflect on your own experiences-especially how a place can hold so many memories and emotions. It would be one of those films where you finish watching and just sit there, thinking about how everything-love, life, heartbreak-connects, and how a city like New York can feel both lonely and full of possibilities at the same time.

You're about to read a review from someone who hasn't read the book or novel. Among Ika Natassa's adaptations, this one stands out as the most delightful and entertaining. The Architecture of Love offers a compelling character arc for its leads, Raia and River, and portrays NYC not just as a backdrop but as a vibrant part of the story. Teddy Soeriaatmadja crafts a feel-good, charming, romantic, and uplifting visual experience that showcases the beauty of NYC and highlights the strong chemistry between the two leads. Putri Marino and Nicholas Saputra deliver performances with undeniable chemistry. This film is a bittersweet romance about two troubled souls discovering hope and love in a bustling city. It's the most enjoyable romance film I've seen in 2024 and is sure to please teens.

This film, adapted from a novel, is tailored for those who enjoy melodrama. If you're in the mood for a light and relaxing watch, this movie may suit your tastes. However, if you're looking for comedy, a complex plot, or an unexpected ending, this film might disappoint.

The story is straightforward and predictable, embodying many typical elements of Indonesian romantic novels. It features familiar themes such as wealthy families and young executives, set against aesthetically pleasing locations. The plot includes several implausible elements, like infidelity happened in their own home ( not in the hotel, which is extremely ridiculous! ) and a woman who prefers a man with PTSD over a seemingly normal suitor.

The film's simplicity allows for fast viewing or skipping scenes, as it lacks depth and complexity. While it may appeal to those who enjoy a predictable and emotional storyline, it does not offer the nuanced storytelling or unexpected twists that some viewers might seek.

The one standout aspect of the film is the good acting performances by the main actors.
