The pair sought advice from established filmmaker [Riri Riza](/source/Riri_Riza) on producing their first feature film. He recommended collaborating with more experienced practitioners during the development process, which led them to work with producer Tia Hasibuan and writer-director [Joko Anwar](/source/Joko_Anwar). Anwar spent approximately one month revising Surya's draft and was subsequently credited as a co-writer. In March 2020, a behind-the-scenes film directed by then lesser-known filmmakers [Yosep Anggi Noen](/source/Yosep_Anggi_Noen) and B. W.

Similarly, Maggie Lee of ''[The Hollywood Reporter](/source/The_Hollywood_Reporter)'' criticised the film's "jumbled" time sequences and laid-back pacing, while praising its "overlapping plots", which she described as "weirdly fascinating in their own right".{{Cite web|date=2008-10-07|title=Film Review: Fiksi|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/film-review-fiksi-120567|access-date=2021-02-06|website=The Hollywood Reporter|language=en}} Richard Kuipers of ''[Variety](/source/Variety_(magazine))'' offered a more positive assessment, describing the film as "an intriguing web around a lonely rich girl's obsession with a handsome writer" and praising Surya's direction as "briskly paced" with "well-drawn characters".{{Cite web|last=Kuipers|first=Richard|date=2008-10-15|title=Fiksi|url=https://variety.com/2008/film/reviews/fiksi-1200471618/|access-date=2021-02-06|website=Variety|language=en-US}} == Awards and nominations == {|class="wikitable sortable" |- !Year !Award !Category !Recipient !Result |- !2008 |[Jakarta International Film Festival](/source/Jakarta_International_Film_Festival) |Best Director | rowspan="2" |[Mouly Surya](/source/Mouly_Surya) |{{won}} |- !2008 |Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival |Golden Hanoman Award |{{nom}} |- ! rowspan="10" |2008 | rowspan="10" |[28th Citra Awards](/source/Citra_Awards) |[Best Picture](/source/Citra_Award_for_Best_Picture) |''Fiksi.'' |{{won}} |- |[Best Director](/source/Citra_Award_for_Best_Director) |[Mouly Surya](/source/Mouly_Surya) |{{won}} |- |[Best Actor](/source/Citra_Award_for_Best_Actor) |[Donny Alamsyah](/source/Donny_Alamsyah) |{{nom}} |- |[Best Actress](/source/Citra_Award_for_Best_Actress) |[Ladya Cheryl](/source/Ladya_Cheryl) |{{nom}} |- |Best Screenplay |[Mouly Surya](/source/Mouly_Surya)
