Review: Adiwiraku

How do I change into my superhero outfit without anyone noticing?

Sometimes the best kind of story is the one based on actual events. Ola Bola captured everyone’s imagination when it came out – it reminded us that our football team, Harimau Malaya, qualified for the Olympics. We cheered at this accomplishment and wondered when this feat would be repeated.

Adiwiraku (My Superhero) can also check all the right boxes for having an inspiring story based on real events. What makes Adiwiraku even more special is that the majority of the young actors featured in this film are playing themselves. And, surprisingly, most of them are quite natural in front of the camera, especially Irdina Tasmin, Ahmad Adnin Zidane and Balqis Sani.
