"Moffie deals with repressing and brutalising a whole generation."

"It is a fascinating story of corporate greed and environmental disaster. I did not feel the outrage."

"Die flou kamerawerk, die eentonige klankbaan, die stomp dialoog, die narratief is als, wel, vervelig."

"It’s a bit shallow, it glosses over Megan and Gretchen’s bigoted views and is sappy at times. But who cares? It’s hugely entertaining."

"Who raised the bar on television shows to the crazy, brilliant level it is today? Was it Netflix with House of cards? Or HBO with True blood or Game of thrones? Hulu with The handmaid’s tale? I cannot definitively say. I do know this: there were so many brilliant series in 2019, that I could only watch half of them and still have enough time to write about them."

"The mere existence of a film such as Parasite gives me hope for the movie industry. The fact that it raked in $106,7 million at the box office makes me a little delirious. A film as brilliant, excruciating and funny as Parasite does not make that kind of money. And it’s not the only highlight of 2019." 

"Your enjoyment of this film hinges on whether you are an Aretha Franklin fan or not."

"You must commend the South African film industry, where budgets are small, for attempting genres other than slapstick or drama, slightly more commercially viable options."

"The extraordinary story is there – war hero, law expert, survivor, charmer – but the movie fails its subject dismally."

"It could set in motion such thought-provoking and justifiable, yet completely conflicting, interpretations, that one could argue for weeks on end. It is marvellous."

"It is a moving portrait of artists losing their sight, the one thing they depend on most."

"Moenie hierdie resensie lees nie. Stop dit. Ek is ernstig. Gaan kyk net die film."

"The major issue Late night grapples with is how superficial TV, and life in general, has become. How substance has been substituted for likes, views and followers."

"Joker is an expansive film, a cinematic marvel with plenty of jaw-dropping scenes. The unrelentingly dark nature of this instalment will, however, frighten many cinemagoers. Be warned. Or heartened."

"It’s a gritty drama, an all-out condemnation of the greed of men, with rather great comedy thrown in – and yes, with some strippers. Oh, and believe you me, JLo is a revelation as Ramona Vega."
