Although this movie has some excellent actors, I will not recommend it at all.
The concept is good, but the storyline and execution is clumsy. The movie takes long to get to a point, and I would recommend more editing. Even the good actors seem like amateurs.
I understand that a good story needs to have development in the characters. But Mareike's character is so irritating that you can barely stand her. It's only in the last half hour (two hour long movie) that she becomes bearable.
For me, it is a blot on the good name of Afrikaans movies. Even the use of language is bad. I don't mind a few English words here and there, but to use a word like "huidiglik" in a professional business environment?
The little boy's Afrikaans is unintelligible, and I had to read the English subtitles to understand what he was saying.
I'm disappointed to say the least.
