Indonesian activist Soe Hok Gie experiences a political awakening during the tumultuous regimes of Soeharto and Soekarno.
Gie, adapted from Soe Hok Gie’s diary Catatan Seorang Demonstran, skillfully brings to life the passionate and critical youth through strong performances, especially by Nicholas Saputra. The film’s well-structured story and aesthetic choices, including language, color, and music, enrich the viewing experience despite some inconsistent character development and unnecessary scenes. Overall, it remains a compelling drama worth watching repeatedly for its emotional depth and portrayal of a complex historical figure.
