Arawinda Kirana is magnetic in her first leading role, allowing Indonesian coming-of-age drama Yuni to draw you all the way in. chlopinions' GFF22 review:
as one of the best recent works of that unfortunate subgenre. And while there is an inevitability to the course of events in director Kamila Andini’s movie, the exemplary execution of each element makes the all too familiar feel freshly upsetting.
As the title character, and in her first leading role, Kirana is magnetic. For Yuni and her peers, girlhood is too short, womanhood strikes far too soon and occupying the slim ground between the two states is a disconcerting, overwhelming experience. Kirana’s portrayal of that untenable position is desperately moving, even more so when contrasted with the short, happy period of freedom she’s allowed at the movie’s opening.
Though the larger direction of the plot seems almost fated, before it gets to that final destination,takes some interesting, unexpected side streets. The prospect of mandatory school virginity tests is raised early and prominently, but meets an unanticipated offscreen obstacle. Yuni’s crush on her literature teacher is at first treated as an innocent teenage fantasy, until several further revelations cast a bitterly ironic light on her initial feelings.
Which returns us to our protagonist, and her purple obsession. By establishing it as the first concrete information we hear about Yuni, Andini appears to set the stage for some revelatory backstory, or even—God forbid—an explanatory flashback. Neither arrives. While the door is left wide open for symbolic interpretation the true reason behind her love of purple remains a mystery throughout. It’s for her, and only for her.
