Gisaengchung (2019)
Fantastic movie
It's was such a thought provoking art piece such great social commentary. I loved how the writer essentially made us feel sorry for the perpetrators "the bad guys" instead of the victims. It was just fantastic. It turned everything on it's head and the ending was incredible.
Cook Off (2017)
It would have been better if it was a parody.
I wanted to like the movie but it was awful. It's like a patchwork of all the 1990s Americans romantic comedies. It was cringeworthy. Not a lot of Zimbabwean movies on Netflix, it's sad that it had to be my first impression of a Zimbabwean movies. It's a movie about nothing, no depth to the characters, nothing. Some of the scenes didn't make much sense and went on for longer than necessary. I wonder if they had to meet some sort of censorship criteria because from what I hear life would not be that easy for a single mother doing a menial job in Zimbabwe and it would be a big deal to lose the job.
Noughts + Crosses (2020)
This could have been done better.
Sadly the opportunity was not taken to show what it's like to be colonised. The noughts walk around as if they equal to the crosses. Which shows this program to be nothing more than upstairs downstairs. What's lacking is the psychological impact of being colonised of believing that you are inferior as you have been taught that for several generations by the colonisers. This would have been apparent if these white actors have been in contact with any black cleaners or any black workers on location in South Africa. I know this as my black Africa granny treats my white husband as next to god. She really can't believe the likes of me could be married to a white man.
Gold Digger (2019)
Terrible
Surprised by how many good reviews this has. I don't usually watch bbc programs this was a reminder of why. I hated every single character.
