Why on earth was a film made out of what has to be one of the most depressing books in the world. This film was the absolute pits. Surely whoever made this film must have thought about this - or, maybe not. And besides being the most depressing piece of work I have seen in years, there was no magic in this movie at all. The whole thing was just too boring for words.
The script also felt very naive. It was too linear. There was no real development. It actually felt like a real amateur piece of work. I don't think this particular film has done any good for the South African film industry. I would be very curious to find out what a film like this cost to make. I am sure it was another run-away budget that seems to be so typical these past few years in South Africa. Like Stander, I am sure this is another financial disaster waiting to be buried. What a pity.
