Banting

About This Movie

So, 'Banting' is an interesting comedy that really plays with the theme of self-discovery and rebellion against strict norms. Yasmin, the protagonist, is raised in this really confined environment, and you can feel that tension throughout. When she starts taking wrestling lessons, the film shifts into this kind of fun, almost exhilarating space. The pacing is decent, not too rushed, which lets you sink into her journey. The performances have this raw energy; they feel very genuine, especially Yasmin, who embodies that struggle between familial expectations and personal desires. Plus, the wrestling scenes have a certain charm to them, even if the practical effects are a bit cheesy at times. It’s a blend of heart and humor, capturing that urge to break free.
