Richard Kuipers Variety The mightily impressive first feature written and directed by renowned producer Jin Ong will move many viewers to tears. Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Oon Maximum Hype (YouTube) The film cements its place in Malaysian cinema history with thoughtful performances and searing social commentary on the perils of the forgotten, the marginalised, and the desperate within its society. Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending The film is heartbreaking and mesmerizing, a truly impressive debut with two superb central performances. And both Abang and Adik are part of a queer community, which is nice to see depicted onscreen without the usual homo-or-trans-phobic drama. Rated: B+ Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film There are no weak links in this film, but Kang Ren Wu’s performance is extraordinary. Rated: 5/5 May 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
