Our take
A bold entry in the Malaysian cinema circuit, Songlap weaves its story with rugged detail and emotional prowess, covering controversial issues like human trafficking, gambling and prostitution while still maintaining a meaningful tone. Its characters are finely developed and its story is gripping.
