I enjoyed the story, writing and hearing my mother tongue Afrikaan (Ive been living abroad for many years now).
The scriptwriting touches modern day issues and also gives answers or guidelines towards resolving these. I enjoyed the magical world Angeliena lives in.

This movie touched my heart so much. Everyone out there must see this to realise to never give up on their dreams. Who cares about your circumstances - keep on believing! Anything is possible and Angeliena showed us that with so much laughter, tears and love in this movie. South Africans can be proud to say this was produced here!!!
Even though ANGELIENA isn't written to be about the current pandemic and socio-economic and health crisis we're living in right now, the themes of hope supporting one another are so universal, that I felt it was exactly what I needed to be reminded of the beautiful, colorful experiences life has to offer! The movie itself is cinematically so gorgeous, it makes my heart flutter and eyes twinkle!
The storytelling was complex and nuanced, yet didn't feel like it weighed me down, instead, it took a look at people going through tough times, and inspired me to pay more attention to the magic in the world around us, like Angeliena and her supporting characters do. Absolutely beautifully done, in my opinion, this will eventually become an art piece with a cult-like following!

Unique and creative storytelling that's heartwarming and colorful like the people it represents. A work of heart. The highly acclaimed cast tells you something about the respect and appreciation the director has earned amongst her peers, and she can be well proud.
From south africa. Angeliena (euodia samson) doesn't have much, but she does have spirit. And the love of her many friends. She's a parking lot attendant, and we know she has some unspoken illness. Angeliena loses her job, and she's having a hard time getting into a medical trial for treatment. So when a good friend passes away, she books a trip around the world. And that's when the troubles really begin! Can her friends come together to get her through all this? It's a cute little film. Nothing big and grand, but an interesting story. Written and directed by uga carlini. Sadly, kuli roberts, who plays tina, died shortly after this was released. It's mostly fun to watch... some tragedy and loss. And i think they added cgi effects that weren't necessary. I liked the energy that the characters all show and the natural colors of the flowers. The ending felt a bit rushed, but it was still interesting to watch. And there's a fun running gag of how she pays for things. Showing on the netflix.
