“Ghost in the Cell, which had its world premiere at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival, has been celebrated by influential trade magazine Variety for rising above mere 'escapist entertainment' to channel societal anxieties about corruption and environmental destruction.”

“Indonesian cinema is in a much stronger position than a decade ago in terms of visibility and there are more quality films today to showcase.”

“Ghost in the Cell, in which inmates are hunted down by a vengeful supernatural entity inside a prison, is – like much of Anwar’s work – ambitious, bizarre and unmistakably Indonesian.”
