Let Me Get What I Want

About This Movie

Let Me Get What I Want dives into the complexities of a young Muslim woman’s life within a polygamous marriage. Fitri, at just 21, finds herself grappling with her desires and ambitions, stifled by her husband Gatot’s traditional views. The film's tone is heavy, almost suffocating at times, reflecting Fitri's internal struggles amidst the expectations placed on her. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to really feel her frustration and longing. The performances are raw and genuine, particularly the lead, who captures the nuances of a woman yearning for independence. The cinematography, paired with practical effects, immerses us in the atmosphere of a life constrained by societal norms. It's a distinctive piece that raises questions about autonomy and the quiet rebellion against oppressive structures.
