To watch this film, you have to be prepared for a very unconventional way of story-telling. For the first half of the film, the characters seem unconnected, but persevere and you will be rewarded. It's a portrait of a family that's completely at odds with my own experience, but I can empathize with it and be very glad that I have not had experiences like these. As Sia, Sanni Fox is enigmatic, as anyone with her personal travails would be. Her parents, played by David Butler and Roberta Fox, made me feel both sorry for them and angry because they did so little to change their lives.
I lived and worked in Cape Town for over twenty years and the photography brought memories of the beauty of the city. Not only the sweeping panoramas of the mountain, but also shots of urban landscape.
Film-making in South Africa has not reached the heights of what we see from Australia & New Zealand. here's one film that allows us to hope that this may change.
