Um Mar de Esperança

This must be the 1st malay movie that kept me glued to the screen from start to finish. Character development was sufficient, so you can really feel (at least some of) the emotions the characters were supposed to portray. The storyline was awesome, even though it still stuck to the "true love" theme so prevalent in malay movies. What really kept me glued was you know from the beginning what the ending is, so you want to know why? Why? Why?!!!

Great malay movie. The. First. Ever that i didnt find an excuse to leave the cinema for popcorn or the toilet or made me yawn tears. And I watched it on netflix at 1 am after a really really crazy day.

First of all.. let me say... how beautiful the cinematography of this movie....and the scenery depicted troughout is just amazing...almost like Maldives....btw....to me...this is likeTitanic....2 love birds separated...and it is based on true story...

I rarely watch romance movies or stories, especially from Malaysia that typically has those extremely cliche rich guy marry poor woman and loses his memory and so on. This one particularly got me by surprise, in a good way. The cinematography of this movie is soooo good for a Malaysian standard, makes the movie much more immersive to watch. The soundtrack is tip top. The acting is great. And not forgetting the most important thing, the emotions portrayed in this film is absolutely heart wrenching. I'm kicking myself for not watching this movie in theatre. PS: For the bad reviews for this movie for the bad CGI can shut up. The movie doesn't has a big budget, with small budget the love that being put in the movie is more important. Would definitely watch this movie over and over again. And no, I'm not a production crew from this movie that give extremely biased review. Just a normal man watching movies for fun.

Todays films are 90% formula. Same stories, with different characters. This one is different. You will never figure out what's coming next. Visually pleasing village scenes, characters that suck you in, and enough action to keep you wide awake. This is my 1st movie review, so you know it impressed me enough to take the time to write this. Don't miss it! CS Directors Guild of America

I never knew this love story really exists,...thanks to filmmaker and Hj Omar's family for telling us this story....really loved it..thumbs uppppp!!!
