Anwar: The Untold Story

Its a like it or not kind of biography movie with the most awkward editing. It got me dizzy by hopping from scenes to scenes with poor interscene transitions. Despite the flaws , i really enjoyed the movie taking me back to the 80s and 90s with great display of emotional acting by Acha. I love the way some of the political figures impersonation by the actors. The movie ended abruptly letting viewers wonder if there is more to come. This may not be a great biography movie but it may just perfectly filled in the gaps of Malaysian untold political history. Reformasi! - a phrase long forgotten or the beginning of a new dawn ?

For me, it was queit unpleasent from the transition between the new scene. Editting was horrible. Also, i cannot feel or see the chemistry between the actor. For example, Anwar and her wife. Between the children too. Like there was zero chemistry. I know this kind of this movie is a bit risky and political topic but i would better watch documentry rather than this movie. I got zero knowledge and moral values. There was scene about the corruption but it still too much boring dialogue with no climax at all. For almost 2 hours of the movie, i felt already sleepy at the half and desprately wanted to finish it. Unworth it. Too much people pleasing maybe 😶😶😶

I think Anwar: The Untold Story will be on the top 10 list of the worst Malaysian movies in 2023. I think the Indonesian producers and directors did not do their research very deeply about this political story. It looks Very weak in the script, storyline, and plot.

This movie has become even worse because the majority of the actors are Indonesian and only few are malaysian actor. After the first ten minutes, I couldn't stop laughing. All of them, from the minister to the police to Anwar's family's and supporters, are try hard to speak Bahasa Melayu, but the slang sounds Jawa. This is really hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣

This movie is not worthy of showing in cinemas; probably they should post it on TV or YouTube.

For me Anwar: The Untold Story , rating 1.5 out of 5. 👎👎👎

I went to watch this movie without prior reading any reviews about it. Maybe i should write in points form to simplify things

LIKE I felt the movie would be more interesting to watch if the focus of the story is on Azizah. Love her spirit, dedication and determination being the family caretaker when Anwar was in jail.

I like the touching opening scene as i remembered vividly what happened in 1998. It was tense and emotional. LOVE IT.

DONT LIKE one thing, i feel Farid Kamil should take the inititave to loose some weight prior the shooting. I remembered anwar being bit skinny and not well built.

The perspective view from Anwar & family . The story straightforward, untold story ironically.

Timeline base on reformation era 1998, the plot dead no expending .

Film 'rushed' and that the plot did not flow well.

The music play very annoying, almost no transition like cop and paste.

Obvious abrupt cut scenes, and that the music was also cut in the same fashion. Some shots felt awkward and amateurish. Movie lost emotional connection. Furthermore, the ending was too abrupt

To conclude, this film did not do justice to Anwar's journey and what he fought for . Nothing being reveal the true side story hence the movie call UNTOLD STORY... no story duhh. The film felt like a compilation. A PowerPoint presentation and it was painful to watch. Like propaganda flyer precisely.

1star for free ticket.
