Imaginur

Having been a fan of Nik Amir's work for almost a decade now, I was not disappointed with Imaginur. In fact, far from it.

Imaginur takes its audience through a whirlwind of emotions from start to finish, leaving those watching it gripped the whole time.

From the perfectly cast actors to its witty dialogues and not to mention the beautiful camera shots, I'm hard pressed to find reasons not to love it. What I like most about this film is how it can mean differently for different people without laying it on too thick, or rather ostentatiously.

Without spoiling it for those who have yet to watch this Malaysian gem, I'd say go into it with an open mind and let yourself be immersed in one of the best Malaysian made films ever.

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.

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.

Just watched it on Prime because my father recommended it to me, I thought it's just a normal romance film with a little bit of drama in it. But I was dead wrong, the story itself is never been done by any local filmmakers. The story of harsh reality that will surely make you cry a waterfall. The twist and turn will keep you on edge. You need to really focus and understand the storyline or else you will be lost in the plot.

The background music and soundtrack is oscar-worthy in my opinion, when you almost cry and you try to hold it in suddenly the music starts to play and without you noticing the tear starts to pour out. Perfect song for the perfect moment. I don't think I need to review the script and acting because it is already perfect as it is.

Should you watch this movie, OF COURSE!! I hope this movie can be set as a benchmark for our local film to keep producing top quality content.
