Red Room

The film lacks in everything. No creative direction just basic standing shots with mandioca movements here and there. South African cinema proves that it is not growing at all. Acting is very artificial like I'm watching a play. Story has been done before.

This is a storyline we've seen before, so therefore directors really had to knock it out the park to keep us glued to our screens but instead it felt like it was directed by an amateur still trying to find their footing.

The film is incredibly dull, lacklustre and completely uninspiring. One thing I always look out for as a movie watcher is: the movie itself must make me forget I'm watching a movie, the actors have to be believable and the general setting of the movie (the camera placement, movement, the lighting, music etc.) has to be convincing, which lacked in this particular film.

SA films are always on an extreme end, if it's good it's good, and if it's bad it's on the extreme side of bad.
