Yasmine (film)

Yasmine is a 2014 Bruneian teen drama martial arts film directed by Siti Kamaluddin and written by Indonesian veteran writer Salman Aristo.

The movie then cuts to a scene where Yasmine spots Dewi training with the boy at the Silat promotion much to her displeasure, and thus she realizes the two's rivalry is for more than just martial arts.

They deftly escape getting caught by Yasmine's father by pretending to be studying their school subjects, when in reality they're learning Silat techniques off of paper.

[10] On Kung-fu Kingdom, Brad Curran praised Yus' performance, saying "With so many 'first timers' on its shoulders, including being Brunei's first martial arts film, 'Yasmine' succeeds with the same tenacity and single-minded determination embodied by its lead character.

"[5] The Straits Times awarded it two and a half stars, saying "The bouts are short and the action crisp, with a welcome absence of wire-work or over-the-top acrobatics.

"[11] Writing in Seen and Unseen: Visual Cultures of Imperialism, D. Bruno Starrs wrote on the conflict between the film's portrayal of Brunei girlhood and the dominant philosophy of Melayu Islam Beraja.
