Brilliant, a real 'feel good' movie
29 September 2012 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Brilliant, a real 'feel good' movie- I loved it. Excellent performances and a great script. Another exceptional South African film which is insightful and opens a window on a different community and context. Below the surface this movie contains many relevant social themes about religion, culture, family values, expectations and aspirations. Set in South Africa in an area of Jo'Burg with a large established Indian community however the themes are universal and relevant to almost any culture and continent. Yes it's funny, moving and full of emotion but speaks volumes about everyday issues and challenges. Be prepared to laugh out loud, shed a tear, hold your breath, and just enjoy the family working it all out.
