Yasmine

Three things made this movie important for me. The female lead was great, in this earnest coming-of-age film. The martial arts performances were instructive, and impressive. But what made this film important was the cultural aspect. It is an Indonesian film, and the film describes life in Indonesia. Did you know that Indonesia has the MOST Muslims of any country in the world? The percentage of the people there, who are Muslim, is only 86.7%. It is less than the Muslim countries of the Mideast. But Indonesia has 231 MILLION Muslims! This fine film depicts that reality, which some other Indonesian films avoid. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which has many foreign films; and now, live TV.

movie is fine, it impressed me, acceptable, but sometime looks a bit rushing.

its not new in term of story style, but its a very good effort. i like the cinematography.

"the best movie better than Indonesian and Malaysian"? i wouldn't say so. it is the best movie in Brunei produced by Bruneian director. but i will not compare it to neighbors countries like Malaysian and Indonesian. it sounds bias and could sound racist if Bruneian starts to give a maximum compliment on this movie.. plus its irrelevant.

because as you can see, a BIG percentage of the actors are not from Brunei. look at the main supporting characters. sufficient enough to make us notice that we didn't produce an awesome movie with only our local actors. so don't be to loud as if this "Bruneian 1st proper Movie" is so awesome and can beat all other's Malay Movies. this movie supported a lot by Indonesian and Malaysian and please remember that before you bark loud.

my comment, i like it, yet i would love to watch this with pure Brunei spontaneous slang. not a standard Bruneian slang and not a new "Bruneian mixed slang" which sounds more like Sarawakan and Indonesian. the movie is good. maybe the best in Brunei for now. i wouldn't say its the best in SEA. and i don't think Siti Kamaluddin is the 1st Female Director in SEA. do Google female directors from Malaysia and Indonesia and the rest of SEA. but yes, she maybe the 1st Female director… but thats in Brunei.

and yes, its a fine movie. thumbs up.

My initial expectation of the movie weren't that high. But after seeing the movie myself I can't help but feel so wrong! This movie's great!

What truly struck me was the movie's videography, drama, comedy (the Bruce Lee-like teacher is funny!), plot, sound, and suspense; I mean it was that amazing and done that professionally.

Especially amazing after realizing, from IMDb, that this was Brunei's first ever featured film after more than 50 years! Talking about the ultimate comeback!

I may be biased as I am a Bruneian myself but I kid you not, this is truly a great movie! A must watch for ever Bruneians!

To Siti Kamaludin and the Yasmine team, I am so proud of you!!!!

OK, since this is the first national movie Brunei ever made, my expectation wasn't that very high, but still expecting some nation wide qualities. To my surprise, I was more than thrilled, the soundtrack, comedies, and acting are all on par with national movies, and it is easily said that it is the best movie so i've seen so far being produce by Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. To me, this is by far better than any Malaysian or Indonesian movies.

It's is even more impressive for a small nation to produce its first movie with an excellent qualities. Can't wait for the sequel! I salute the director, which is also the first Female director in SEA, and also the writers, and everyone involved. I salute you. If there was ever a movie to present Brunei, this is it. wonderful cinematography.

p/s Don't expect Hollywood standard kind of movie , its more like an easy going, teenage friendly kind of movies that has a 'what do you learn' kind of end. FRIENDSHIPs and funny jokes wasn't short from this movie Highly recommended

Clichés aplenty, though 'Yasmine' is a good film.

The run time could've been shaved a bit and the characters could've been written better, but taking everything into account I'd say this is a positive 2014 release from Brunei; reportedly the first ever commercial feature film from the Southeast Asian country.

The cast aren't anything overly noteworthy, though Liyana Yus makes for a good enough lead; her (titular) character is a little hit-and-miss in terms of how she acts, though that's on the filmmakers rather than Liyana. The rest of the cast, spearheaded by Reza Rahadian, are solid.

Nothing perfect, naturally, but I enjoyed watching it.
