Iquo B. Essien Shadow and Act 06/30/2017
The film starts out slowly, with the couple and their friends sipping drinks at a bar. The pace never quite picks up, though we're kept engaged by the variety of locations and characters. Go to Full Review

Catching Feelings manages to work due to its cultural specificity, and winds up being an agreeable and entertaining night at the movies. Go to Full Review

4/5
The sex scenes are daring for local cinema ... and so is the dialogue, which makes you laugh and think, without being preachy. Go to Full Review

Viewers looking for a weighty, topical film about a man grappling with racial tension-and a turbulent marriage-will enjoy Catching Feelings. Go to Full Review
Joe Reid Decider 05/23/2018
The usual romantic-comedy frustrations where smart characters act stupid so that we have a movie to watch are at play here, but this is a likeable movie with some funny performers. Go to Full Review
Masego Panyane Independent Online (South Africa) 03/09/2018
It features some beautifully composed shots over Johannesburg and shows her off as I would have pictured her: a woman who is trendy, cool, sophisticated and level-headed, while a little rough around the edges. Go to Full Review

07/19/2019 Still an awesome Movie, I never get tired of watching it. Great cast, well written and the best part, it's a local movie. 👌🏾 See more 11/16/2018 Good. No climatic ending like most movies. I liked it. See more 08/28/2018 A simple story set in the backdrop of brilliant Johannesburg. The whole movie travels in the same pace with few exceptional scenes on a mostly predictable story line. Still the movie is watchable because, everything surrounding the main story line i.e. the South African culture is new to the overseas audience. The kind of movie Woody Allen would have made if he was born in Colonial South Africa. See more 05/29/2018 The movie is scattered i could follow what it was about. The couple were not convincing enough that they were together. Kagiso doesnt look like he would date pearl. Ai it was a mess of drunken adventures and stupidty. And what happend to the student kagiso kissed? On top of all that mess it just ends boom out of the blue. All in all i wasted 120min of my life. Well it always good to see Jo'burg . See more 05/27/2018 This South African feature film is Hollywood production value, with an entirely S.A. cast. See more 05/27/2018 Looooong drawn out movie. See more Read all reviews
