Anwar: The Untold Story

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.

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.

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. 👎👎👎

While the movie is not good enough for any international film competition, the actings are okay and the script is good since it's based on true events. It's the most special movie made because Anwar is the present prime minister of Malaysia and it tells the story of why Anwar was jailed for going against prime minister Mahathir while he was the deputy prime minister. This movie was completed before Anwar won in the last election and become the prime minister. It leaves me thinking, why is Mahathir totally silent over the movie? Why didn't Mahathir take legal action against the producer and director? Isn't this the best proof that what's told in the movie must be true?

Anwar: The Untold Story" is a film that truly stands out. After watching this movie, I felt it breathed life into the human side of Anwar Ibrahim's journey, defying the claims of being mere propaganda. Based on the Royal Commission of Inquiry's findings, the film presents a heartfelt portrayal that humanizes Anwar and his experiences.

What makes this film remarkable is its balanced approach. It delves into the complexities of Anwar's life and the challenges he faced, showcasing his charisma and determination, while also addressing the controversies surrounding his trial and subsequent events. This nuanced perspective adds depth and relatability to the narrative.

The film's attention to detail and commitment to accurately representing historical events deserve applause. It recreates the atmosphere of that time, allowing viewers to emotionally connect with the struggles and triumphs of Anwar and those around him.

"Anwar: The Untold Story" invites viewers to reflect on the personal toll that political turmoil can take on individuals and their families. It humanizes Anwar by highlighting his vulnerabilities and the impact of these events on his loved ones. This approach makes the film more accessible, engaging, and relatable to a wider audience.
