Pluskylang Great Film overall

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

zooview This is the one that woke Malaysian cinema out of its prolonged box-office slump. A crowd-pleasing musical romantic melodrama (based on the unrequited-love hit song "Isabella") which nevertheless has serious themes about religious tolerance, it's well-written and well-directed. The beauty of Terengganu state and the haunting "ulek mayang" song are well-exploited, too. As is usual with Malaysian movies there are limitations to do with budget and technical aspects, but they can be forgiven for delivering a good story.
