Aidil Rusli, writing about his thoughts on cinema in Malaysia so far in 2012. Check out the full article from Malaysian Insider by clicking here. |

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 on stage but she seemed like it and she did a really good job. Another actress who I thought outstood everybody was Susan Lankester. She was great! Her facial expression, her body language was very good. I mean, she doesn’t need to say anything but you know that her character is going through a tough time. And I like how her character was build too. Because at the starting of the movie, she doesn’t talk that much but, like I said, you can tell that she’s troubled. But at that scene when she’s video chatting with her son, where she just lets out everything, I thought that was very beautiful and very touching. Almost made me cry, that scene.

“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?
If you had an amazing ride of eight years like mine, you would be whole. You would always be a whole person, wherever you choose to go, choose to live, choose to love.
You would be a whole…
Because you would have walked away with wisdom you’ve gained for two persons.
Because you would have acquired the best traits from him, and be reminded of which of your best that you would keep.
Because you would now have the best jokes from two persons to impress the world.
And lastly and most important of all,
Because you would have learned so much on how to love, be loved, and to love, that whether or not you find that next soulmate later, you would always know how to love yourself and those around you.”
Not a review, but a post by someone who enjoyed the movie and was inspired by it to write something about her current relationship status and the loss of a loved one. Click the title or click here to read the full post.

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 tempatan bahawa kita tidak kurang penggiat muda yang berbakat.

Director Khairil M. Bahar was recently ambushed by The Viewing Room on Yes World and interviewed, all the while being distracted by his cat Gimme.
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 bring you tears and most importantly it will make you look back and think - “Things would’ve been so much easier if I’d just talk to him / her.”
