Amandla

Can't believe it has such a low rating!!!?

Acting was superb from beginning to end, with very believable characters. Heart wrenching at times, due to the entrapment of the older brother. Yes, this is not an uplifting film in some ways, but does portray the sad truth that there is no way out for some due to circumstances beyond their control.

I found this film a difficult watch at times, but thoroughly engrossing! Probably a low budget film, but what the director and cast have done, is remind us of the difficulties SA has faced and continues to face. Thank you. For this film.

While it is a well-made movie and it does have a interesting premise and I appreciated that this movie is fast paced, what hurts Amandla for me are pretty much almost everything else. The bland performances along with cringey dialogue, a story that ultimately leads nowhere, weak direction, below average overall screenplay, a ending that I totally saw coming & was incredibly predictable, weak character development, and a pretty useless social commentary that adds little to nothing to help advance the story.

I don't recommend this South African Netflix Original.

This film was rooted in some significant socially and historically relevant occurrences but it played out more dramatically than anticipated. It was executed well but it could have done with some silver linings. It goes from bad to worse and although it wasn't my personal cup of tea some people who are fans of stories (like The Kite Runner) that might resemble many real lives, in which people experience unrelenting sequences of harrowing ordeals, would enjoy this.

Good execution of a really really sad South Africam film. Great performances all round.

This is tragedy from start to end. The younger brother seems quite selfish and naive to his brothers situation after the parent situation. To still not help help him properly when he really needed it...and the end....what was the point of his brothers sacrifices, if this was going to be the end.

This was a excellent movie and well written and acting was superb.

It reflects our sad history in South Africa and the consequences thereof.

There is different views on how we understand the movie, but this was definitely not a predictable movie and we must give credit to the production team and appreciate their efforts.
