Similar to Critical Eleven, the chemistry between the leads is adding depth to this conflict-driven character study and rescuing the whole movie from the unbalanced script. The idea of remarrying one’s former spouse might not always be the most realistic (even if there are numbers of real-life couples who would make such a decision), but Raihaanun and Rahadian make the audiences hoping that they’re getting back together convincingly. Their performances respectively are at their top levels however, it’s their chemistry as a couple who loves and loathes each other at the same time that makes the poignant point. The movie’s strongest pull is Raihaanun and Rahadian. The very same thing happens in Twivortiare. Ika Natassa’s novels often deal with the similar notion-where the end is nigh, but the characters somehow find the second chance to make amend. The premise that Twivortiare offers is: what if the end is only the beginning for the couple? Raihaanun & Reza Rahadian as the power couple in Twivortiare (2019) based on the novel by Ika Natassa Divorce supposes to be the end and closure of their romance (it is basically the basic plot of Divortiare). Long story short, their strong personalities collide with dire toll: their marriage. Alex lives and breathes bank credits meanwhile, Beno cannot live a day without his patient.
As a power couple, Alex and Beno respectively are persons of professions.
Twivortiare coalesces stories from two novels ( Divortiare and the sequel, Twivortiare) into one comprehensive story centering on Alex (Raihaanun, 27 Steps of May) and Beno (Reza Rahadian, also portraying the lead in Critical Eleven). Following up on the concise anti-romance Critical Eleven and its tonally problematic sibling, Antologi Rasa, the remarriage drama Twivortiare is set to showcase another adult romance with grounded, yet uncommon circumstances. However, the tide has shifted a bit in recent years, especially since adaptations of Ika Natassa’s metro-pop novels started grabbing specific audiences. The sub-genre has been subjected to the art-house area or, at some points, relegated to the soap-opera-only theme. Ever since the so-called Indonesian cinema revival back in the early 2000s, adult romance has somehow become a topic that mainstream movies attempted to avoid.
