Barry (Gary Green) is a piece of work. He’s a deadbeat husband to Suz (Chanelle de Jager), deadbeat dad to their son, and all-around deadbeat to Cape Town on the whole considering he’s shooting heroin when he’s not roughing up people who owe him money because he’s been facilitating their habits too. As far as we can tell by the cursory introduction writer/director Ryan Kruger provides, Barry deserves every single insult Suz hurls his way when he strolls home well past the hour she expected. That his response is to accuse her of adultery (“the boy doesn’t look like me”) before leaving to drink at the neighborhood dive bar ensures he’ll never earn one iota of sympathy from us. It’s therefore good that he soon disappears.
