This must be the 1st malay movie that kept me glued to the screen from start to finish. Character development was sufficient, so you can really feel (at least some of) the emotions the characters were supposed to portray. The storyline was awesome, even though it still stuck to the "true love" theme so prevalent in malay movies. What really kept me glued was you know from the beginning what the ending is, so you want to know why? Why? Why?!!!

Great malay movie. The. First. Ever that i didnt find an excuse to leave the cinema for popcorn or the toilet or made me yawn tears. And I watched it on netflix at 1 am after a really really crazy day.

First of all.. let me say... how beautiful the cinematography of this movie....and the scenery depicted troughout is just amazing...almost like Maldives....btw....to me...this is likeTitanic....2 love birds separated...and it is based on true story...

Got to hand it to the people behind this effort for the special effects, namely CGI, to recreate some scenes from the 40s during the war. Pretty nifty actually though slightly unrealistic at some points. It helped a lot to have the CGI as the story itself is really not above the level of the daily soaps seen on tv. Serious movie goers might not be satisfied in my opinion.

I thought the actors and production team did a great job, but the story itself drove me nuts. The man basically abandoned his family: no letters, no money, no return. So the rest to me is manipulative.

Worth-watching movie. Will not regret!

Epic love story, Friendship and loyalty, Historic, Family, Unity, Tissue

From drama to a little bit of comedy, action to documentary and adventure, with so many genre

'Pulang' will play with your emotion. Thus, making it the best movie you ever watch this year.

I never knew this love story really exists,...thanks to filmmaker and Hj Omar's family for telling us this story....really loved it..thumbs uppppp!!!

Movies is presented good but the whole reality of not coming back and living ur family for money is just i cant digest.. looks like a real story but feel bad for the suffering of the family who waited this long..

And as it turns out , I really loved this film, it was very affecting. I had no idea what Malaysia is or anything about these people and their beautiful culture, golly it looks really nice there, and I bet it is really nice there I would love to visit and perhaps lay around there by the beach and enjoy all the nice atmosphere! I really fell for this story because it was charged by a powerful and intense impassioned backstory. I really loved the cross-over and arch-over of the characters and the main theme! Watch it if you want to experience your heartstrings tugging at your very soul asking if what you are doing now is worth it, is it really worth it... loved it.

I am sad and genuinely pissed at the 2 main characters because they didn't manage to resolve this simple issue as adults. sad.

It's a great movie with gread storyboard which inspired by true-story .The local village scenes in the movies is breathtaking .The song 'sayang disayang by rubiah' itself help the audience to actually feel sentimental like they are the 'character' in the movie. Totally in love with the main characters portrayed by Remy and Aisyah, they totally killed it especially Remy .This movie definitely play with your emotions and touch your heart. Though it was produced by local production ,qualities of this movie will not disappoint the audience despite of CGI effects maybe a little bit unrealistic .

I rarely watch romance movies or stories, especially from Malaysia that typically has those extremely cliche rich guy marry poor woman and loses his memory and so on. This one particularly got me by surprise, in a good way. The cinematography of this movie is soooo good for a Malaysian standard, makes the movie much more immersive to watch. The soundtrack is tip top. The acting is great. And not forgetting the most important thing, the emotions portrayed in this film is absolutely heart wrenching. I'm kicking myself for not watching this movie in theatre. PS: For the bad reviews for this movie for the bad CGI can shut up. The movie doesn't has a big budget, with small budget the love that being put in the movie is more important. Would definitely watch this movie over and over again. And no, I'm not a production crew from this movie that give extremely biased review. Just a normal man watching movies for fun.

The end was so ilogical to me. Everything was going so well, until the awful ending.

Beautiful cinematography. Good CGI. The vibe like watching Titanic. And it is based on true story.

It is a very good effort from local production on this film. Could compete with west film except the CGI shall be more improve. I really love the true story movie, and this would be one of it. Epic, lovely and dramatic story-line.

We, yes we! My kids and me really fall in love with this movie. Good story plot and they kept the suspense till the last and that kept the viewers engaged till the last part of the movie. Really good to see Dato' Rahim Razali back in action even though it is just for a short scene. All actors and actresses played their role excellently. Thanks to the movie.. we fall in love with an old song sung by Rafeah Buang : Sayang DiSayang.

Worth a watch!

Todays films are 90% formula. Same stories, with different characters. This one is different. You will never figure out what's coming next. Visually pleasing village scenes, characters that suck you in, and enough action to keep you wide awake. This is my 1st movie review, so you know it impressed me enough to take the time to write this. Don't miss it! CS Directors Guild of America

The film has beautiful settings, in addition, its story is interesting and sometimes epic.
