Featured review
Brilliant! This is a stunning movie and without doubt fits in my long life's top ten movies alongside movies such as Lawrence of Arabia, Brother Sun and sister moon, the killing fields and 12 years a slave amongst others.
This is a very harrowing tale and tough to watch,because of the storyline. But it is a brilliant movie in every aspect except for one gratuitous hetero sex scene which for me did not fit into the movie at all(and is the reason for the 9 out of 10). The story is one that every youth should see because I believe that it will be life-changing for them/
Everybody associated with this film deserves the greatest of accolades and I sincerely hope that there will be a few Oscars for it, There certainly would have if the film was done in Hollywood.
And it proves that there is still life in Afrikaans as a language.
