Review This! Relationship Status →
The script here is pure and casual and so relaxed. Even the actors/actresses in this movie looked relaxed. Especially Davina Goh. She seems really confident. Like she’s done this a million times. Have you been to a play/theatre and noticed how actors/actresses act on stage, they’re like “hey just another day at work, no biggie”? They’re THAT confident and relaxed. I don’t know if Davina Goh acts...

“People say that when you meet your soulmate, that person completes you. So when it ends, does it mean you end up being a single and a lonely half again?

Skrip Kemas, Bersahaja →
Relationship Status adalah contoh pembikin filem kita berupaya memberikan naskhah yang universal dengan penceritaan yang baik tanpa modal berjuta-juta. Saya percaya aspek teknikal boleh diperbaiki jika Khairil mempunyai lebih dana tetapi dia masih boleh berbangga dengan apa yang dihasilkan sekarang.
Filem kecil sebegini mampu mengejutkan sekali gus memberi harapan kepada industri sinema...

Relationship Status - Review by The "Other" Eva →
The script and film was very thorough at capturing the lives of 21st century people and the actors made the whole thing even better. Their acting was so real and raw which made the experience even more heartfelt and unforgettable. Relationship Status may not be the most polished-looking film out there but it is a film that MANY MANY of us can relate to. It can bring you laughter, it can...

What's Your Relationship Status... →
The story is fantastic and is easily relate-able to anyone, old and young, those on Facebook or not, there is definitely something for everyone. Even though the stories were intertwined with each other, it was incredibly straight forward to understand and never left me questioning who was dating who, unlike other ensemble pieces I have watched. You could easily connect with the characters and...

ESQ: The biggest obstacle was … KMB: Trying to get my head around the non-filmmaking stuff. For this film we decided to try and sort out the release ourselves which is something I’m not used to doing - sorting out the censorship, the distribution withTGV, the promoting, the press and premiere screenings, all that stuff. It’s all very new and challenging, but I sure do like a challenge.

‘Relationship Status’, sebuah filem Malaysia yang wajar ditonton ( rugilah kalau mereka tak mahu menontonnya), sebab ia filem yang bagus plot ceritanya. Mereka yang terlalu disogokkan dengan elemen komersial secara membabi buta mungkin akan menganggap filem ini agak membosankan, sebenarnya tidak. Tonton dan lihat serta hayati apa yang ingin diperkatakan pada setiap babak filem ini....

What shone most though was the restraint displayed in directing the large cast. While some of the acting in Ciplak was borderline over-the-top, the star-studded ensemble in Relationship Status uniformly delivered their performances with great subtlety and weight; I think they were brilliantly cast for their roles. Even the smaller roles and cameos were done in earnest with no hints of...

Relationship Status - Review by Daniel Subramaniam →
The great thing about this movie is that the characters are all very relatable. You sit there watching it and you’ll go ‘I know what that feels like’ or ‘I feel you bro’. At some point in our lives, we would have been in the same position as some of the characters which is why it really pulls you in. So scripting wise it was spot on. It doesn’t try to be...

“Relationship Status” is easily one of the best local films I have ever seen. It is subtle, and you just want to watch the film just to see what happens to these characters.

Movie Review: Relationship Status by Lipstiq →
“We must say though, that the multi-ethnic and multilingual “Relationship Status” has definitely set the bar or rather changed the game altogether for independent Malaysian films. Definitely something the average Malaysian shouldn’t be missing.”

Q: Who is your favourite director? Khairil: Kevin Smith, hands down. He was the inspiration for my releasing this film. Back in 2011, Smith made this independent American horror film called “Red State”. He wrote, directed and distributed the film himself. And I thought, I want to find a creative way of distributing my film too, which is why we approached TGV with a teaser trailer...

Relationships, Facebook and a Jack-of-all-trades
By Erna Mahyuni
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 5 – Khairil M. Bahar is a shameless overachiever. The proof: when not writing or directing scripts for TV, he’s playing in his band Rollin Sixers or acting in film and theatre. Obviously anxious to keep flaunting his overachieving-ness, he’s just written and directed Relationship Status, which opens today.
His secret to overachiever status? “I...

“It is not often that you have a local English movie that is actually good. And to be honest, I was not expecting much at the start of the movie. But as it progressed, I can see that this is a movie that I would actually recommend for others to watch, something that will not disappoint you, the heartbreaks, the joy, the break ups, things that make us as who we are right now.
