Yuni is a beautiful, spiritual, and genuinely authentic experience of a movie which shines a light on the difficulties of coming of age in a society which tends to snuff out individualism and uniqueness.

Rated: A

Seventh Row

There’s a casualness to how Andini depicts the oppressive forces in Yuni’s life; the walls close in on her out of nowhere. One day...she [hears] about virginity tests for female students; [suddenly] her band practice is being canceled by the Islamic club.

Film Threat

Yuni is a beautiful, tender film with strong characterizations. The cast is excellent, and the subtle direction reinforces Yuni’s overwhelming feelings.

Rated: 8/10
