Mahathir Mohamad in M for Malaysia (2019)

User reviews

M for Malaysia

1 review
3/10

Enjoyable but just mediocre if you look at it objectively

It's a documentary that is put together rather well with a good flow but, as with any documentary with an agenda, it also relies on unproven allegations, suspicions and "unfair edits".

They showed Najib to be a shameless vile buffoon, as if in the months leading up to GE14 there were no vile and toxic statements coming from the mouths of Pakatan leaders and Mahathir himself. They still imply he's a kleptocrat although the latest proceedings in the High Court has disproved quite a few of their pre-GE14 accusations against Najib.

Maybe this film was too little too late, because as much as it tries to "recapture" and pump up the euphoria of last year, the country is tired from non-stop politicking and a faltering economy. If it was released immediately after GE14, like that silly "Rise: Ini Kalilah" was, it would have fared significantly better and might have even been a box office hit because it's genuinely good for that point in time.

But today, only die-hard Pakatan supporters will relate to this documentary with twinkles in their eyes while a regular man-on-the-street will see it as a piece of well-edited semi-fiction.
