Sore is a poetic-visual orgasm targetting Indonesian aspiring middle class who could only dream to be able to experience everything they saw on the screen. Tiga perempat awal film diisi dgn obsesi Sore utk mengubah Jonathan. Atas dasar apa? Mungkin karena Jonathan menghisap sebatang rokok (?), karena bagi penonton there’s nothing wrong with Jonathan except that he’s not a very talented photographer and a little bit introvert. Ternyata, dia punya trauma masa lalu yg dia coba perbaiki di awal seperempat akhir film, yg anehnya he’s taking the opposite way of healing himself, that is unhealthy and has no psychological basis but surely poetic for the screen. But hey, look at the bright side, viewers get to experience this poetic visual that makes you feeling some type of way you never experienced before thus you don’t know what it is but it feels good.
