When her disastrous wedding night leads to an accidental killing, Natalie flees her rural town in South Africa's desolate Karoo region.

Steve Rose

Guardian

It's an odd mix of tones that doesn't always work but, like its protagonists, Flatland is not afraid to strike out and look for something new.

Rated: 3/5

Film International

Flatland is both literally and metaphorically a wild ride, but an unrelentingly sincere one that speaks with intelligence and kindness of its three central women characters, warts and all.

An exhilarating fusion of contemporary western, policier and girls-gone-wild road movie...

Busy Butterfly

Such an original plot and storyline, and characters - realistic characters. It was easy to become invested in their conflicting vested interests. The characters' conflicting perceptions of their relationships were well-explored, which can be paralleled with contemporary South African social challenges.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
