Sadly this movie will never have the rating it deserves because so much is lost if you watch it in another culture with subtitles. One complained about the overuse of the Christian faith, yet that was the context of the culture especially so around that time. The subtitles would never do the original language justice so it's understandable that it would be perceived by the less perceptive as trite. All considered, when you end your dribble by saying 'cuz' instead of 'because' you end up only aging yourself as a modern day teen and rating your own review 4/10, if that. The movie is true to South African historic culture, the language, nuance, etc. Normally when we review foreign movies we attempt to compensate for our own ignorance about that specific culture. I hope people will see it from that point of view. It's really a beautiful movie from story, acting, sound, cinematography, directing.
