Featured review
It got banned - so it must be good, and it is.
Unsurprisingly, this got banned in its home country for being thought provoking, controversial to the general population of its home country.
The movie tells of Aishah, a teenager from a Malay-Muslim, but very open family, who has a terminally ill mother.
She seeks out the meaning of death, and beyond - and find the support of a very loving, and more importantly open-minded Malay family and friends that allows and encourages her to explore and find answers.
The movie touches on many of the narrative of the proported soclal norms in Malaysia, mainly the many 'forbiddens' expected of a Malay family, moreover a girl.
It is thought provoking, and the movie approaches them in a respectful manner - being almost too cautious on how it will be received by the more conservative views of its home country.
But nevertheless all that is mute, since regardless 2 years after its initial release, it got banned / revoked from circulation from its home country for likely too thought provoking.
If you're able to find it on various streaming platforms, go watch it. Frankly it was done very well given what appeears very likely how low budget the film must have been, and it was unlikely any studio investors in its home country would've dare to touch producing it with a long pole. I am impressively surprised on the wonderful treatment of the how beautiful Malaysian multi-racial society could be, as the movie would have liked it portrayed. Of course, those subscribing to the official narrative would undoubtly condemn this movie for its progressive treatment of the Malaysian society.
