Ricky Lionardi was the thing I kept watching in La Tahzan: Cinta, Dosa, Luka... (2025). A couple of tiny timing choices really stuck with me. I bought the character pretty quickly, which is not always easy in this kind of film. There is a nice lived-in quality to it, nothing too forced. The small reactions do a lot of the heavy lifting. It is the kind of performance that quietly makes the movie sturdier. Not the whole movie, obviously, but it helps a lot.

Andrew Dunbar gives this role a little extra shape without making a big show of it. Some scenes click, some just sit there. I would not call it bad, just not as sharp as it could have been. It is solid enough, but there are moments where it feels a bit on autopilot. The quieter stuff works better than the bigger beats. I like the idea of the performance more than the full result. It is less about one scene and more about the overall aftertaste.

Kim Sawol gives this role a little extra shape without making a big show of it. It feels like the role needed another layer that never quite showed up. A few choices felt pushed, and that pulled me out of the scene. It never really locked in for me. The performance does the job, but not much more than that. That is the part I kept thinking about after the movie ended.
