Clichés aplenty, though 'Yasmine' is a good film.
The run time could've been shaved a bit and the characters could've been written better, but taking everything into account I'd say this is a positive 2014 release from Brunei; reportedly the first ever commercial feature film from the Southeast Asian country.
The cast aren't anything overly noteworthy, though Liyana Yus makes for a good enough lead; her (titular) character is a little hit-and-miss in terms of how she acts, though that's on the filmmakers rather than Liyana. The rest of the cast, spearheaded by Reza Rahadian, are solid.
Nothing perfect, naturally, but I enjoyed watching it.
