Being a South African, I was really happy to stumble upon this film. It's very slow, which adds to the tension, but it's very poignant, especially if you are familiar with he context. Based on the reviews I've seen online, it looks like it's making precisely the right people uncomfy. Worth a watch for sure.
Felt original. Eerie, but not outright horror. Not a bad thing when done this cleanly.
pretty cool, didnt quite understand everything due to the cultural/ language difference
Quite an interesting watch, would recommend!
I’ll have to pass on this. I was intrigued when I saw it was in Xhosa but it is very slow. I’m 2/3 of the way in and the MC is unlikeable while the outer characters lack depth. How does the MC come to stay with her mom and start making demands on how the house should be changed? You’re a guest! Plus the child is annoying.
