amir syarif siregar’s review published on Letterboxd:
The premise of adapting a famous and beloved classic love story is promising but, unfortunately, the whole execution is just not there. The problem with Monty Tiwa's 'Layla Majnun' is it is completely emotionless. The dialog is bad. The story is so poorly developed and shallow it doesn't draw you in as there are not many characters to root for. Acha Septriasa and Reza Rahadian try hard but the movie as a whole is slow, boring, and doesn't go anywhere exciting.
