Personal Review For Anwar, The Untold Story
My personal rating will be 4 out of 5. As a person that loves to watch biography movies, it was great although the story started slow it ended with an impactful scene, I would say the most memorable one in the last few minutes.
I personally think that 90 minutes is not sufficient as some of the important characters like Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Nurul Izzah were not fully developed, with just a touch-and-go introduction.
Overall, thumb up to all the casts that successfully play their characters really well and delivered what need to be told in this biopic.
So, guys! You shouldn't miss out on this great biopic and really recommend you to watch this once it is released nationwide on 18 May 2023.
