Allows a different sort of insight into what was going on in South Africa at the time. Inspirational to watch. Go to Full Review Paul Risker HeyUGuys 10/20/2021
4/5
To those with an open mind it will offer a rich exploration of the past, but it is one that requires an appreciation of telling the story of the personal to take us inside the past, and bring child film star Muntu's story to life. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Shockya.com 10/19/2021

Everyone in the film had their moment to give award-caliber performances... But Molebatsi had a huge weight on his shoulders with the role of Muntu, and he was able to carry it with aplomb. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said 10/19/2021

Sharon D 09/22/2022 Probably one of the best and most powerful films that I've ever seen. See more 11/07/2016 Best film on the complexities of South African politics, cultures and people. A must see for very international student. See more 06/10/2014 A very difficult to watch film but very well made and acted film. The reality of apartheid comes full circle in a time of madness and love. I saw the film while abroad on satellite tv. Needs to be more readily available in the US. See more 07/15/2012 This is one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. It doesn't so much move you as grab you by the throat, and only lets go to punch you in the gut. Every South African should see it. See more 07/15/2012 This is definitely the best movie of this year and I truly believe it will win best foreign film at the next Academy Awards. I urge every South African to see this... It's a reconciliation movie... See more 03/31/2012 Just watched this powerful and moving story of redemption set during the worst years of apartheid in South Africa. It's a smaller story set within the larger narrative that shows us no one was innocent but everyone was damaged by that shameful period of history. Highly recommended. See more Read all reviews
