Saturday With Dad

About This Movie

Saturday With Dad captures the bittersweet essence of familial love in the face of impending loss. Gunawan, the father, learns he has only a year left to live and, instead of succumbing to despair, he embraces the time he has left with his children, Satya and Cakra. The film has a raw, intimate atmosphere, often relying on simple yet poignant moments that reveal the depth of their bond. Pacing is reflective, allowing viewers to sit with their emotions. The performances feel genuine, especially in the quiet interactions that speak volumes. There’s a certain authenticity in the practical effects; nothing over-the-top, just life as it is. It’s that unpolished quality that gives it a distinctive flavor, making it resonate in ways that are hard to articulate.
