Malcolm & Marie: ’n filmresensie

Cliffordene Norton Film 2021-06-22

"Die verhouding tussen Malcolm en Marie is gekompliseerd, toksies. Die karakters is selfgesentreerd en dit maak dit moeilik om van hulle te hou. Marie se self-awareness maak van haar ’n meer simpatieke karakter. Malcolm & Marie is ’n lekker fliek, maar omdat die storielyn slegs op die twee karakters fokus, voel dit uitgerek."

Escape from Pretoria: ’n onderhoud met Tim Jenkin

Maryke Roberts, Tim Jenkin Skrywersonderhoude 2021-05-28

"Ek het geleer dat wanneer jy ’n uitdaging in die gesig staar, jy nie sommer net die hele oplossing kan sit en uitwerk nie. Jou wegspringplek is om jou doelwit neer te pen. ’n Plan is ’n dinamiese, veranderlike stel riglyne wat geskaaf word soos wat jy praktiese aktiwiteite begin uitvoer. Daar sal vele draaie en swaaie wees, want jy kan die volgende stap beplan slegs as jy die vorige uitdaging oorkom het."

Wesens: Discovery of “the other” in the Klein Karoo

Wilken Calitz Film 2021-05-12

Framing the film Wesens (2020) from a cinematic perspective

Llandi Beeslaar Film 2021-05-12

"What separates Muller’s approach from its Western counterparts is the fact that Wesens is very much rooted in the sociopolitical and cultural climate of apartheid-era South Africa."

Akina Besuidenhout: Wesens is baie opvoedkundig

Akina Besuidenhout Film 2021-05-12

"Hulle het dit so goed vertolk dat jy sou dink hulle is regte wetenskaplikes."

Wesens is “a deep exploration of humankind”

Kirsten Rademan Film 2021-05-11

"Though culture is ingrained in us and forms a big part of how we shape and see our world, it is learned, and therefore we can unlearn the parts of our culture that no longer serve us, or the parts of it that do not do the planet any good."

Wesens is far “from the archetypal gun-toting American film” says Nelia Bester

Nelia Bester Film 2021-05-11

"The two scientists have a different kind of power over the major and staff sergeant. They are the ones documenting the journey and can therefore decide when to stop filming and when to start again."

Mphanya Mmatseleng Film 2021-05-11

"To those who have not seen the film, allow yourself to experience this Afrikaans catalyst project. Leave your Hollywood notions of films and filmmaking at the door, and give this unique film a chance to challenge your outlook on life."

Wesens: Uncomfortable truths found among the footage

Stefan Kriek Film 2021-05-10

Natasha Meyer: Wesens pas nie in enige filmtipe-boksie nie

Natasha Meyer Film 2021-05-10

"Dalk dien die “anderste” film as ’n  waarskuwing dat ons nie net beter na ons aarde moet kyk nie maar ook na mekaar? Dat ons meer verdraagsaam moet wees voor ons alles en almal vernietig met geweld en net gravitasie oorbly?"

Barakat: ’n filmresensie deur Leon van Nierop

Leon van Nierop Film 2021-05-10

"Die verkwiklike draaiboek deur Amy Jephta en Ephraim Gordon systap alle clichés waarop ons hamburgereters dekades lank gespeen is."

Erla-Mari Diedericks: “Ons is almal Kaang se wesens”

Erla Diedericks Film 2021-05-10

"Die Kind van Afrika het bly groei totdat hy, presies tien jaar later, op 16 Julie 1976 as jeugdige sy vuis tydens die Soweto-opstande teen die regering gebal het. Dit was die begin van die einde van apartheid."

Wesens: a review by Ayden Kruger

Ayden Kruger Film 2021-05-07

"The film as a whole grapples with the concept of invasion. Set against the backdrop of the Americans attempting to invade the moon and the Russians apparently attempting to invade the world with communism, the arrival of the foreign object onto the farm seems dangerously intrusive."
