Lupa

About This Movie

Lupa is an intriguing blend of comedy and sci-fi, set against a near-future backdrop that feels both familiar and odd. The story revolves around a young time traveler from Malaysia who attempts to connect with his younger self—who's in a bit of a rut, honestly—and guide him towards a more hopeful outlook. It’s light-hearted but carries some heavier themes about self-acceptance and growth without dragging down the pacing. The practical effects used for time travel sequences are surprisingly charming, giving it a quirky feel. Performances are solid yet understated, allowing the emotional beats to resonate. What stands out to me is how it balances humor with some thought-provoking moments, making it a unique entry in both genres.
