"Tully is an honest, often very funny look at parenthood, at the lies parents tell themselves to stay sane, and at the reasons why they should perhaps start telling the truth."

"Downsizing sorg vir een van die oorspronklikste wetenskapfiksietemas in ’n lang tyd: verander mense in Klein Duimpies en jy kan hulle in ’n skoenboks inpas, by wyse van spreke."

"Die lekkerste en moeilikste aspekte was snaaks genoeg dieselfde ding."

"You don’t need to get all, or any, of the references to enjoy the film. It is still a thrilling, albeit sweet, adventure that will leave you gasping for breath."

"Maar ten diepste gaan Catching feelings oor identiteit: wie is elkeen van ons in die nuwe Nuwe Suid-Afrika, of wie probeer ons wees?"

"The mutated world within the Shimmer is the stuff that dreams and nightmares are made of, gorgeous and creepy all at once. Annihilation will certainly leave (adventurous) moviegoers with much to talk about, and an ending to fight over for years."

"Dis eers met werklike akteurs verfilm, en daarna deur ’n span van meer as honderd kunstenaars omskep in 853 skilderye wat in animasie verwerk is. Elkeen van dié olieverwe is met die hand gedoen."

"As jy nog nooit gehoor het van Stephen Hawking en A Brief History of Time nie, is dit tyd dat jy gaan fliek."

"I, Tonya is billed as a film about skating, about the rivalry between Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. In truth, it is so much more than that. It is a searing depiction of domestic violence, it takes on society’s expectation of how a woman should act, and it finally delivers an endearing portrait of a rather difficult woman who refused to be a victim."

"It’s a fierce film that does, refreshingly, not offer real redemption to any of the characters, but that does portray them as terribly flawed and utterly human."

"Daar was lanklaas ’n fliek van hierdie kaliber op ons kringloop. Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri kry loshande my stem as vanjaar se Oscar-wenner vir beste film ..."

"It’s apparent that the appeal board has missed out on the other important aspects of the film, which include same-sex relationships, safe sex, love, the challenges of patriarchal societies, finding the balance between modernity and tradition, negotiating the rural and urban landscapes, as well as the beauty that is embedded within the isiXhosa culture and the traditional rite of passage into manhood."

"Darkest hour is die moeite werd om te kyk. Die dinamika van die verhoudings tussen Churchill en die mense met wie hy daagliks en weekliks in verbinding was, bewys hoe angstig en onseker hy gedurende sy eerste ampstermyn was."

"The animated film Revolting rhymes, based on the 1982 Roald Dahl collection of poems for children, co-animated by Cape Town-based Triggerfish, has picked up critical claim and several awards. It has just been nominated for a 2018 Oscar for best animated short. The film is deserving of all the praise."

"Hierdie puik film oor die epiese tenniswedstryd tussen die Wimbledon-kampioen Billie Jean King en voormalige nommereenspeler Bobby Riggs draai die horlosie terug na 1973 – en ’n mens se mond hang behoorlik oop oor die soort seksisme wat veertig jaar gelede die aanvaarde norm was."

"As jy The President’s Keepers verslind het, is hierdie net die fliek vir jou!"

"'The selections from Africa up to now have mostly come from recommendations from friends,' says event founder and director Tiina Lokk-Tramberg. 'It is one of the areas where I would really like to get more submissions.'"

"Ellen, die storie van Ellen Pakkies is die ontstellende verhaal van ’n vrou wat deur die strafproses geplaas word, teregstaan op ’n moordaanklag en gedryf is deur ’n onwrikbare liefde vir haar seun. Dit delf in die innerlike psige van ’n familie wat deur dwelms vernietig word in een van die gevaarlikste gemeenskappe in Suid-Afrika."

"The shape of water is beautifully styled and filmed and the actors give it their all, but the lack of substance and a stock-standard script lets the whole production down."

"En met die koms van digitaal kon [Koos] Roets sien hoe regisseurs en tegniesespanlede nie skroom om skoot ná skoot te neem en dít wat hulle nie op stel regkry nie, na die tyd in die redigeerkamer reg te maak nie. Dus kan hy nie anders as om te mymer nie: 'Waar is die magic van movie maak heen?'."
