Anna's character is played so well. From a child, a teenager, to an adult. High praise to be given to the actress. Character performance, facial expressions and emotions are very make sense to the audience.

A 6-episode serial drama seems too long for the plots to be summarized. Actually, this story can still be made into a 2-hour movie. You can imagine how slow this plot is brought, right?

But the ending of getting justice lacks 'oomph'. If the downtrodden saved by Anna, tells all her good deeds and she is accepted back into society, it will make a good ending to the story.

But overall I would say okay.

A brave attempt to show local traditions and the way people in small Malaysian villages live and think. Although this story has elements of humor, but I still find it uninteresting.

I watched this movie only because it won awards back then. But the expectation did not reach the level that the titleholder should give.

There is no wow factor in the story. Story lines are just like storytelling. So I feel bored and sleepy. Maybe I was hoping for much better quality plot?

Or maybe this story is actually from 2014, but I just watched it now in 2023, so I cannot compare it to the current movie era, is it?
