Review of Sepet

Sepet (2004)
10/10
Malaysia From Another Perfect, Untested Angle. Very Honest
20 November 2005
This film is really one that touches you deep into your heart while it makes you search for answers in your head as well as it enables you to see through the borders of humanity. As much as love is the main theme that surfaces this film all along the way, it is almost vague and unseen of directly. You have to find the love in it although you know it's there. And that's just how beautiful the script was written, how unique the camera was played and how powerful the actors of this movie played their role. As effortless as their acting may seem, still they can move our feelings profoundly. You won't fall in love with this film before the end credits roll. The ending is the climax, and, for a Malay film pessimist like me, who always thought that all Malay films are a bunch of stupid romantic comedies with endings that we can predict the moment we see the starting credits, this film was simple but far from the ordinary. Extraordinary, is wonderful. Don't look at the little budget. Look at how big the effect it did to your soul. Can you name a blockbuster money-spinning Hollywood movie that makes you think of it for weeks?

Exactly.
