Oscar Deserving

The best local movie produced ... It's in the same league as our Tsosti movie ... The music in it well done the context the rawness it's the best well done

A great south African story

Enjoyed every piece of it. The choice of background music as well, unexpected, unpredictable. Perfect, from start to finish.

Magic

Matwetwe's brilliance is in its energy: the story and a dazzling array of characters keep sprawling (just like the township we see in swooping aerial shots), defying the viewer to guess where all this will end. It shows a gritty, real side of South African life which is often overlooked or taken forgranted. Comparisons will be made to City of God, but this is not a didactic text, it's a hilarious (and occasionally brutal) piece of kinetic cinema.

The Best Coming Of Age Story

Childhood friends Lefa and Papi navigate the hardships of growing up in Pheliville. Just graduated from high school Lefa has been accepted into Wits and hopes to score big with their cannabis business whilst Papi is just chasing the next score.

I've been putting off watching the movie for years, I regret never watching it earlier because it is just fantastic.

SA Storytelling Greatness

I went to see this film when it came out in the cinema. What an awesome time I had with my wife watching this. Great film, I definitely suggest you give it a watch and you'll enjoy it. Great story of friendship, trials and going through the most to make ends meet, between friends. A true test of friendship.

I enjoyed the Directing and Cinematography, the actors did an amazing job of holding the story together as we follow them through their challenges. Many people will be able to relate to this story for all the characters wen through.

Very sad what happened to the main actor. May he Rest in eternal peace.

Quiz
Most of the actors were stage actors from The State Theater. Kagiso Lediga did not not do auditions for their parts he just sat with them, as a group, with a camera, and he asked them to tell him about themselves. They did not know he was casting them mentally. Kagiso Lediga talks about this in most of his interviews about the movie.
