Director and writer Jin Ong does a spectacular job at weaving a Malaysian tapestry of untold stories of undocumented citizens.
The cinematography and lighting of every scene was immaculate, perfectly capturing the essence of every moment.
I notice other reviews commenting about the poor pacing of the movie but I beg to differ. Firstly, I felt it was needed to leave questions in the audience's minds, and the pacing reflected the pace of Malaysian life in Pudu well. I personally appreciated those "slow" scenes because it's the little things and nuances that made the film so Malaysian and kept Malaysians like myself and my family enthralled and immersed into those scenes.
To the team, thank you for putting Malaysia on the map globally. For all the good and right reasons. To Jin Ong if you ever read this, thank you. For your vision, hope, and relentless pursuit in making this movie come to life. We Malaysians appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts.
