Thriller. Drama. Western In the deserted hills of an Indonesian island, Marlina, a young widow, is attacked, raped and robbed for her cattle. To defend herself, she kills several men of the gang. Seeking justice, she goes on a journey for empowerment and redemption. But the road is long, especially when the ghost of her headless victim begins to haunt her.

	Media	Author	Review
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"An austere yet stylish revenge romp (...) At once an enjoyable genre ride and a feminist arthouse story"
		Maggie Lee Variety	"Mouly Surya pioneers a new genre (...) At once tightly controlled and simmering with righteous fury, it’s gorgeously lensed, atmospherically scored and moves inexorably toward a gratifying payoff."
		Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"A thoroughly enjoyable, visually ravishing feminist Western (...) Splendidly accompanied by a sit-up-and-take-notice musical score (...) [A] modest gem"
		Tara Brady Irish Times	"Yunos Pasolang reaches for wide lenses to shoot incredible, unique and (...) sunny horizons with a scope that recalls the classic Hollywood tableaux of James Wong Howe and Winton Hoch (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		A.A. Dowd AV Club	"It’s a small, offbeat movie, punctuated by bursts of terrible violence but also infused with a winning strain of deadpan humor that’s not too far removed from Jim Jarmusch"
		Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice	"Surya establishes Marlina’s position with quiet power (...) The result is a film of uneasy grandeur, at once offhand and gently mythic"
