"It is a dazzling concept, using Bruce Springsteen’s working-class Americana lyrics and music as a backdrop to life in Britain in 1987 for a working-class Pakistani family."

"The best of enemies is not a brilliant film, it is not a ground-breaking film, but it does not deserve to be tanked, either."

"Die 2019-weergawe het nie die passie van die 1994-weergawe nie. Ek het heeltyd gewag vir die energie om toe te neem, vir die weerbarstigheid van byvoorbeeld die aasvoëls of die hiënas om deur die skerm te breek. Die oomblik het nie aangebreek nie."

"Part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream, Rolling thunder is a one-of-a-kind experience from master filmmaker Martin Scorsese."

"Booksmart, a film about high school – the current colosseum where the innocent and not so innocent are fed to lions – is simply not cruel enough to feel authentic, not funny enough to make you cringe at what you are laughing at, and not insane enough to elevate it to mockumentary/spoof status."

"’n Klomp moerige bewonderaars het ’n petisie opgestel waarin hulle daarop aandring dat seisoen 8 oorgeskryf en -verfilm moet word. Natuurlik kan enige bewonderaar op sosiale media en om die braaivuur kla as hulle nie van iets hou nie. Maar om aan te voer dat jou idees en storielyne beter is, en dat ander mense se harde werk in die proses geskrap moet word?"

"Ek beplan die beste aan ’n nuwe boek op ’n lang, oop grondpad met goeie musiek oor die radio."

"Skemerson moes ’n kortfilm gewees het."

"Die Spreeus se waarde lê in die lieflike karakters en ontginning van Suid-Afrika se ryk kultuur van spookstories." 

"Capernaum is a stirring take on poverty, child abuse and overpopulation. It won’t traumatise you or leave you despondent, though."

"Dumbo, along with Mary Poppins Returns, might not have been cinematic milestones in the careers of the cast and crew, but it is the kind of movie that is sorely needed: films that enhance childlike wonder in children ..."

"Nicole Kidman goes full tilt into the character of Erin Bell, and this performance, which is supposed to carry the film, ends up ruining it. On top of that, the film suffers from some rather serious plot holes, dubious styling and one-dimensional characters."

"Die stropers is ’n totale aanslag op dogma, indoktrinasie, patriargie, isolering teen die buitewêreld, fundamentele religie en ’n rigiede stelsel wat van almal slagoffers maak, ’n stelsel wat in stand gehou word deur niemand anders as ons self nie."

"The controversy surrounding this film should not dissuade people from watching it. (Google if you must.) It is a nuanced, tender tale about an unlikely friendship that overcame loneliness, bigotry and class differences. Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali’s performances appear effortless."

"The film is visually sumptuous, thanks to incredibly detailed costumes, lavish locations, great camerawork, dimly lit scenes and perfectly precise editing."
