Leave your thoughts about Tsotsi.
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganIts plot, updated from Fugard's 1950s settings, reduces moral issues to pointlessly simplistic levels. Using a baby to redeem a criminal is neither realistic nor honest, especially as it's enacted here. |
| Houston ChronicleAmy BiancolliIt lays a stark narrative that's devoid of sentimentality but stoked with emotional power; without getting maudlin, it will tear you to shreds. |
| Modamag.comSusan GrangerUnabashedly poignant, it's a moody, gritty gangster saga with a stark sense of reality. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerNewcomer Presley Chweneyagae is stunning as Tsotsi; it's one of the most affecting performances of 2005. |
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandAt the heart is a breathtaking performance by South African actor Presley Chweneyagae. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric LurioIt's a nasty little film, but well worth the slog |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Zadie SmithThe audience gasps in that odd mixture of surprise and recognition that great story-telling affords. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusHood avigates this mine field with sure instincts… He doesn't tell, but shows; his characters never become too lucid or articulate, avoiding the danger of didacticism or moralizing. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordNew-to-these-shores director/scripter, South African Gavin Hood, does a wonderful job adapting the novel by Athol Fugard, bringing to real life the story of "Tsotsi." |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Cliffordcarries a hopeful message of redemption and human decency while also painting a sad picture of the far-reaching effects of the AIDS epidemic on a country's children. |
