Sepi Audience Reviews

Console best movie i've ever seen.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Julya O In the formula of Crash, Magnolia and Babel comes a local production known as Sepi. It's another one of those movies where three separate stories are merged into one by a common incident, a car accident in this case. Other than that there isn't much interaction or connection between the characters unlike the other mentioned titles.The first is a story about love found and then lost and then found again. Namely, the story of Adam, Afdlin Shauki. The second comes a tale of Sufi, Tony Eusoff, the man who lost his love but found another through his grief but he could not have her because of her marital status. The final is Imaan, Baizura Kahar, which is the most bizarre tale of the three about a girl who could not let go of her past and has to learn to hold on to the present through love. The theme of the movie is all about love that comes the second time around.Though it is plotted for success with a formula most romantic dramas are based on, it doesn't have the appeal as much as the characters could have had. It's hard to get into their shoes or feel what they feel in their times of desolation and loneliness. The heart is lost in the overly dramatic roles without the necessary buildup.Some scenes are lavishly explored while others remain simplistic and the two creates an imbalance on the entirety. Other than the few glitches the movie is warm and at times comical. It's just pleasant above all, with some lovely songs and scenes but it doesn't leave you much to savor after the credits begin to roll.
Marx-Michael Here i am standing up, clapping hand, giving Khabir Bhatia all the credit he deserves. Totally brilliant to the core. I could even say that this movie superseded Khabir Bhatia previous works and should be the guideline for other Malaysian movie makers.We could see the tedious works Khabir Bhatia's teams put into making this movie. The camera angle is beautiful. For instance, that small flocks of bird flying just at the right moment to enhance the audience. Or maybe that beautiful butterfly coupling together near the lake. The blurring of other actors while focusing on the main actor. The angle that was took from that small opening on the door while focusing entirely on the actor - that was brilliant! The acting. Aflin Shauki who play Adam was excellent! His face character acting is beyond doubt the most beautiful in sense of feeling. I am very confident that he's going to take the Best Actor again for this year. I always like Aflin Shauki. He just prove that it's talent that count on this business rather than look.Baizura Kahar who play Imaan is an actress to be reckon with in the future. Her acting is like she's on stage; more to a theater acting but, i am sure with Khabir Bhatia guiding, she emerge tremendous well on this movie.Tony Eusoff who play Sufi is none the less, quite a surprise actually, good and very convincing. I never really follow his portfolio but after SEPI, i reckon that i will.At first when the movie show Pierre Andre who play Khalil, i was, like, what's with the McDreamy's acting. Why he is so passive and why he is acting like a clog. Your lines was very limited and you more like doing that facial thingy - smiling, eyeing and that sort. I was almost very disappointed with him BUT then in the end it will show why he is acting like that. At last, nearing the end of the movie, i have to give Pierre the pat on the back. I am sorry for putting my judgement too early. Well done. Superb performance.The storyline. Gosh! Look.. i am not going to spills the beans because it will definitely destroy the surprise or maybe surprises in this movie. Believe me when i said that you'll be glad that if you were to see this movie. The entwining between scene and stories was brilliant. And again i repeat, should be the guideline for all Malaysian movie makers. I can only say that, if you think that you know the ending (like most Malaysian Movie - predictable), you'll get a shot of trills with this movie.Brilliant work. I recommended it 100%. Surely the best movie of this year.
