Full Plot Details

Position among the Stars, the final part of a trilogy, follows the award- winning documentaries Eye of the Day and Shape of the Moon (Joris Ivens Award IDFA 2004 - World Cinema Documentary Grand Jury Prize Sundance 2005). Through the eyes of grandmother Rumidjah, a poor old Christian woman living in the slums of Jakarta, we see the economical changing society of Indonesia and the influence of globalization reflected in the life of her juvenile granddaughter Tari and her sons Bakti and Dwi. Director and DOP Leonard Retel Helmrich follows this family in a unique way with his breathtaking Single Shot Cinema-technique. Without interviews and voice-overs, Leonard will bring you closer to Indonesia than you will ever get.

Movie Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttAn eloquently shot and closely observed documentary about a poor family in modern-day Indonesia.
Time Out - 8/10 by Tom HuddlestonA singularly intimate and honest experience, as powerful bonds are formed between 'us', the viewer, and 'them', the subjects.
sbs.com.au - 8/10 by Simon FosterLeonard Retel Helmrich's final instalment of his sociological trilogy...confirms that the Dutch-born auteur is one of the great talents in the world of factual filmmaking.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Anton BitelA Koyaanisqatsi-like perspective on progress and pessimism, on a domestic, global and cosmic scale.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawIt is like an episode of Shameless, or a page-turning realist novel about a family packed with comic characters, the sort of thing that Timothy Mo might write.
Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Philip FrenchIt's a vivid picture of desperate people struggling to survive in a corrupt world, though formally rather too contrived for my taste.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisEngrossing, poetic and often very funny, "Position," like its predecessors, uses the lens of a single family to view the tumult of an entire country.
Variety - 8/10 by Leslie FelperinAs with his previous pics about the brood, Dutch-Indonesian helmer Leonard Retel Helmrich deploys an expressionistic, quasi-soap-opera approach to produce striking results, thanks especially to use of Steadicam. But the protagonists seem to be playing to the cameras more this time round, making "Stars" a less charming effort than earlier installments.
CineVue - 8/10 by Patrick GambleInstantly draws you in, relying on an incredibly naturalistic approach to submerge you into the everyday conversations of its characters, amplifying their actions to an almost cinematic scale.
Total Film - 8/10 by Jamie RussellThe invisiblecamera approach begs questions yet, for the most part, the effects are extraordinary.
