The beginning of the story full of question marks makes sleepy viewers will continue watching until the end.
The selection of each character helps bring this story to life. The emotions brought by each character make this movie incredibly easy to understand.
The story line goes from clueless and not knowing anything to a story that touches viewer's heart.
I tried to hold back my tears but failed. Tears fell with the unexpected ending plot. The emotions conveyed by the actors deeply pierced my soul.
There are not many Malaysian productions that dare to bring a fictional story with the imagination genre. Shout out to IMAGINUR!
What are imaginary friends?
Imaginary friends are pretend friends that children make up in their imaginations. They're usually nothing to worry about.
Imaginary friends come in all shapes and sizes. They can be based on someone your child already knows, a storybook character or even a soft toy. Sometimes they come purely from your child's imagination. They're mostly human, but they can also be animals.
These friends might always be there, or they might come and go. They might exist only in certain spots like the cubby house or at the kitchen table. And they might appear and disappear for no apparent reason.
When do imaginary friends appear and how long do they last?
Children as young as 2½ years can have an imaginary friend. Children might sometimes have more than one imaginary friend.
Children usually stop playing with make-believe friends when they're ready to move on. Imaginary friends are most likely to be around for several months, but they could be a feature of your child's life for a few years.
Why do children have imaginary friends?
Your child's imaginary friend could be someone who:
listens to and supports your child plays with your child can do things that your child can't do is special and belongs only to your child doesn't judge or find fault with your child.
Your child is in charge of what the imaginary friend says, what the friend does and who the special friend can 'play' with. This could also be part of the friend's appeal.
Imaginary friends allow children to explore a make-believe world that they create all by themselves. In fact, children with make-believe friends might be more imaginative and more likely to enjoy fantasy play and magical stories.
The way children play with or talk about their friends can tell you a lot about how they're feeling. Make-believe friends give you insight into your child's inner world, and your child's likes, dislikes and tastes.

I thought the movie was fantastic all around. Everything about this movie, including the soundtrack, cinematography, and storyline, is flawless. Nik Amir Mustapha directed a heartfelt and yet amiable film with an intriguing plot.
The performance in this film is also something I can't overlook. Beto Kusyairy has outstanding acting skills, and he gets along well with Diana Danielle.
This kind of excellent storytelling is uncommon in movies, particularly in Malaysia. This film has a great deal of potential to showcase the quality of Malaysian cinema. I heartily suggest this film to people who love art-focused motion pictures.
Imaginur takes its audience through a whirlwind of emotions from start to finish, leaving those watching it gripped the whole time.
From the perfectly cast actors to its witty dialogues and not to mention the beautiful camera shots, I'm hard pressed to find reasons not to love it. What I like most about this film is how it can mean differently for different people without laying it on too thick, or rather ostentatiously.
Without spoiling it for those who have yet to watch this Malaysian gem, I'd say go into it with an open mind and let yourself be immersed in one of the best Malaysian made films ever.
