About This Movie

Kick 'n Love is one of those films that drips with a certain kind of yearning. The story centers around Budi, a university student who excels at Futsal, but there’s a constant tug-of-war with his mother and his girlfriend Gita. The tension between personal passion and societal expectations feels very real. Gita's character, feeling trapped by financial constraints, adds a layer of complexity—her love for Budi is marked by frustration and envy. The pacing is steady, allowing the emotional beats to land without rush. What stands out here is the authenticity of the performances; you can really sense the stakes. The film has this raw, indie vibe that captures young love and ambition in a nuanced way, making it a distinctive entry in the drama genre.
