Anwar: The Untold Story

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.

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.

This movie is about a politician trying to fight corruptions which already becoming so worst in the gov. Admin. System. He did what he could as Deputy Prime Minister. He rejected money & land offered to him and his father. He reminded his family members not to take any government contracts. He also tried to amend anti-corruption act.

Back in the year 1990s , there was not much information we could get on what happened to anwar and family after he was caught and put into lockup. I guess that was the Untold part that this movie tried to convey.

I was told the original movie was supposed to be 180 minutes but shorten to 100minutes. Probably that's why the scenes transitions are not good at some parts. But as a whole, i think it is still a good movie with a good message and worth to be watched.

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. 👎👎👎

Its a like it or not kind of biography movie with the most awkward editing. It got me dizzy by hopping from scenes to scenes with poor interscene transitions. Despite the flaws , i really enjoyed the movie taking me back to the 80s and 90s with great display of emotional acting by Acha. I love the way some of the political figures impersonation by the actors. The movie ended abruptly letting viewers wonder if there is more to come. This may not be a great biography movie but it may just perfectly filled in the gaps of Malaysian untold political history. Reformasi! - a phrase long forgotten or the beginning of a new dawn ?
