Imaginur

Finally, I saw this movie at last, over two years after it was released. After learning how much the film relies on art, I was at last able to mentally get ready to watch this movie. I'll keep the review short.

I thought the movie was fantastic all around. Everything about this movie, including the soundtrack, cinematography, and storyline, is flawless. Nik Amir Mustapha directed a heartfelt and yet amiable film with an intriguing plot.

The performance in this film is also something I can't overlook. Beto Kusyairy has outstanding acting skills, and he gets along well with Diana Danielle.

This kind of excellent storytelling is uncommon in movies, particularly in Malaysia. This film has a great deal of potential to showcase the quality of Malaysian cinema. I heartily suggest this film to people who love art-focused motion pictures.

This movie definitely sets Malaysia's filmmaking industry bar to a high level. Engaging, exciting, melancholy and wonderful at the same time. Love the details placed to indicate movement of time. Main actors, as expected, both played their characters well with Beto Khusyairi and Diana displaying fine but also impactful facial gestures. Not to mention, other characters also played huge roles in setting the movie alive. Soundtracks, no need to say anything, fits perfectly. With Director Nik's previous movie, KIL, being a huge success and a creative masterpiece, IMAGINUR is far from lacking. Overall, expectation exceeded, over a high margin. IMAGINUR is a must watch.

I just saw Imaginur on Prime Video and I can surely say that this is the most unique Malaysian film. Let's start with the most obvious one, cinematography. If this film didn't win in achievement in cinematography at Malaysian Film Festival, I would snap. Like this is the most beautiful Malaysian film. The colouring, camera, lens are A+! Next is storyline, if you haven't watch this film yet, there's a 95% you won't expect the plot twist because I was shocked by the plot twist. Third one is... acting. The connection between Beto and Diana are _perfect_ lets not forget amazing performances by Meor Hashim and Nadiya Nissa. I think the only complaint I could came out with is this movie is _too fast paced_ for the movie plot. But that didn't really gonna affect the storyline but I would think this movie could expand their runtime by 10 or 15 minutes with fillers to make us feel more connected to the characters.

I give this film 10 stars amazing movie hopefully this movie won a lot of awards!

It kept me interested. Usually i hate watching malay movies cause...our movies always boring lah. But this one is so entertaining. I was invested. Almost hollywood-like story (?) . Dare i say this must be nominated for an oscar! Michelle yeoh is being nominated for the oscars 2023...so why should *this* movie be too?! The acting was pretty good. The actor of Zuhal did well...This movie i could watch multiple times. I'm not saying this is a "masterpiece" or anything,but i truly think it deserves to be nominated. For malaysian movie standards,this one was great. Fun fact. My cats name is also Zuhal. Overall,this movie was great. Very.

The film has all the right ingredients that makes up a solid and A tier movie:

Great acting, pacing, script, audio mixing, cinematography and especially in my opinion the soundtrack used throughout the film. I came in with zero expectation other than hearing great reviews from word of mouth.

I knew there was something to this film after watching the trailer and after watching it I am so satisfied. Throughout the film you're going through a roller coaster of emotions trying to figure out and piece together what in the heaven is going on but when everything comes together it is delivered beautifully.

I highly recommend this Malaysian film and I hope to see more like this. Please do yourself a favor and watch this.
