Audience Member A very well done contemporary version of Oliver Twist reset in South Africa. The cinematography is excellent and the acting very good. Definitely recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie surprised me. Its filmed in South Africa. The storyline is very real and the lack of gloss makes for an even better feel of grittiness. It was well worth the watch. The South African Version of Oliver Twist story line. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member this is such a powerfll film... everything about it is simply flawless. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A cute little movie with some adorable characters (like Twist's little pal at the orphanage). Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting adaptation but not great. Bill Sikes wasn't nearly as unlikeable. Regardless, worth watching as a rental or for free. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member "Jou ma se P**s!!" Kim Engelbrecht lol..if you look at that boys face you just wanna cry!!
