The core emotional weight of the film lies in the friction between Fikri and Ali. Their relationship explores how different members of a family process shared trauma—one through spiritual discipline (Fikri) and the other through concealment and bitterness (Ali). Critical Reception and Production

Some critics felt the film leaned toward a 1990s horror aesthetic, which provided a sense of nostalgia but also made parts of the plot feel predictable to modern audiences.

Critics have largely praised the veteran cast, particularly Adi Putra and Hasnul Rahmat , for their emotionally convincing performances. Sophia Albarakbah’s role was also noted as a commendable early performance in her career.
