Really cool piece
Not quite sure what genre
Not horror
More rites-of-passage puberty tale with highly humorous and also serious themes blended in; shamanism is very present here too
The Malay village and surroundings/nature it is set in so beautiful
The acting from the three girls; this a teen buddy movie too really very good; the ancillaries pull their weight too; the parents are excellent in this too; the über-laidback dad an absolute treat
Watching more and more films and series from Asia and the quality is really as good as anything from The West often on a par with
Highly advised for folks who are interested in good cinema shamanism and the thorny time in a person's life we call teenage.
PS For the ones of you who have not seen it; watching
Cat People (1982) would explain why I titled the review Cat People for 12 year old. The 1982 was not the first but it was an excellent film.
