"Goed, so die kat is uit die sak. In Mei publiseer ek my tweede roman, Smit Motors."

"The old man & the gun does not demand too much; it does not aim to unsettle or shock. It tells a marvellous tale of a bank robber who simply loved robbing banks, got caught, broke out 17 times and returned to what he loved – robbing banks."

"The film goes beyond issues of race and looks, without being cynical, at other blind spots such as hanging with the wrong friends, the pressure of culture, aggression, gentrification and the failures of the justice system."

"It is a magical mischievous musical wonderland."

Réney Warrington selects her top TV shows for 2018.

"Widows tries to be a heist movie-cum-social drama, but does not deliver on either."

"The great thing about Private life is that it does not take sides. It shows you the couple’s total heartbreak and fatigue, but also that their obsession with having a baby is destroying their lives."

"A star is born, apart from its faults, manages one thing deftly: to launch Lady Gaga’s acting career. (American horror story does not count.) She outshines (and outsings) the veterans in this film."

"Lisbeth Salander, the cult figure and title character of the acclaimed Millennium book series created by Stieg Larsson, will return to the screen in The girl in the spider’s web, a first-time adaptation of the recent global bestseller."

"Sew the winter to my skin does not live up to its utterly poignant title."

"Die boek word nie toegelaat om op eie voete te staan nie, maar vorm bloot deel van die bemarking vir die film."

"Die probleem is, mooi beligting, goeie stilering en goeie kamerawerk is nie genoeg om van ’n film ’n kunsfilm te maak nie."

"The film ultimately questions issues such as living off the grid versus needing community, broken soldiers coming home, forced assimilation into society and religion, and father-daughter relationships."

"Of course, it is an important film, because, as was the case with Wonder Woman and Black Panther, this film represents a section of society, (crazy rich) Asians, on screen in a blockbuster format."

"Vir diegene wat die fees bywoon: berei julle voor vir besonderse films wat omtrent elke genre dek."
