10/03/2013 A very well done contemporary version of Oliver Twist reset in South Africa. The cinematography is excellent and the acting very good. Definitely recommended. See more 04/02/2010 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. See more 04/24/2009 this is such a powerfll film... everything about it is simply flawless. See more 09/28/2008 A cute little movie with some adorable characters (like Twist's little pal at the orphanage). Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. See more 05/22/2008 Interesting adaptation but not great. Bill Sikes wasn't nearly as unlikeable. Regardless, worth watching as a rental or for free. See more 01/30/2008 "Jou ma se P**s!!"
