Frans B @FransB Dec 26, 2025 Such a raw, emotional and unpretentious movie. Amazing story, spectacular cinematography and visually stunning (just LOVE the South Africa wide horizon Karoo landscape!) Feels so sincere and very real. Whole cast very convincing in character. Touches on the unexplored and push some boundaries, which is just awesome. A great achievement and certainly very hard hitting and memorable. True grit See more Read all reviews
