Faizah Jojo: Sadali is a sequel to the film "This Life Has Too Much You". It’s about love and an unfinished past. There are hearts that haven't truly healed. Some dialogues are gripping, ticklish, and hilarious.

Hanifya: The journey of love requires struggle, and forgetting the past in the form of memories is very difficult. Let it be eternal, because there will be someone in the heart but cannot be possessed.

Hendra Gunawan: The continuation film of This Life Has Too Much You is indeed really good. Honesty must be expressed to reach resolution, not dragging on for 3 years.

Megi Anggara: This film emphasizes the importance of emotional honesty in a relationship, inviting the audience to be more sensitive to their own feelings and those of their partner. This film also teaches that relationships require an understanding of the right timing and acceptance that not everything goes as desired.
