“But it’s Tjandrawidjaja’s performance as Mika that really hits it on the nail. She is brilliant at bringing out the emotional reality at hand when Yang malfunctions, and her performance feels as seasoned as her adult co-stars. She has a bright future ahead as an actor with how believable she can bring about emotions and moods in a character.”
