This is tragedy from start to end. The younger brother seems quite selfish and naive to his brothers situation after the parent situation. To still not help help him properly when he really needed it...and the end....what was the point of his brothers sacrifices, if this was going to be the end.

This film was rooted in some significant socially and historically relevant occurrences but it played out more dramatically than anticipated. It was executed well but it could have done with some silver linings. It goes from bad to worse and although it wasn't my personal cup of tea some people who are fans of stories (like The Kite Runner) that might resemble many real lives, in which people experience unrelenting sequences of harrowing ordeals, would enjoy this.

Good execution of a really really sad South Africam film. Great performances all round.

The reviews here are mixed as you can see but this movie can seem overwrought at times and hokey at other times. However the acting is powerful and it is not a Hollywood movie although the plot is nothing new and , yes , maybe even somewhat predictable. The actual locations , the language and , again the acting is powerful and I would say realistic. I sat down to review it as soon as I finished watching it because I believe it deserves a wide audience it stands out in my mind when compared to other movies. All I can say is that the characters are so well developed that they literally jump off the screen and into your soul. The movie has its faults but it's holds up and , I believe , achieves its objective. Perhaps not for everyone but I want more than 'entertainment.

This was a excellent movie and well written and acting was superb.

It reflects our sad history in South Africa and the consequences thereof.

There is different views on how we understand the movie, but this was definitely not a predictable movie and we must give credit to the production team and appreciate their efforts.

Terrible stereotyping of all races in South-Africa, framed by ludicrous characters that are highly unlikely in modern South-Africa.

The director and producer have failed miserably in flogging a long dead horse, they should actually be ashamed about their lack of invention and creativity, the money could have been spent well somewhere else.

Some of the cinematography was nice outside, the inside scenes looked over-staged and student like.
