Powerful - precise definition of manhood. The basic virtues - great performance of Kai Luke Brümmer, inspired end and honest portrait of apartheid policy, army life, clash between innocence and tough life of a rigid system.
Great cinematography, a couple magnificent scenes, fair - honest moral and precious image of the taste of love in hostile medium.
Sure, manz references from war / army life films of the last decades. But the specificity remains fresh and convincing and impressive. So, a confession. Not only as inspired adaptation adaptation of a book reminding a personal experience but as cold drawing of truth defining society for many comunities, in many contextes.
This makes it just a great film.
