"As Kaang and Kuyper witness each other’s departure to wherever, the penny drops. Proximity, no matter how uncomfortable, is perhaps South Africa’s only remedy."

"The dominant discourse of the “civilised” European thus dominates and replaces that of the Khoisan, erasing it."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Selfs al nooi sy my om hier ’n rukkie langer te kuier, hou my kar op die pad en begin ek die kronkels volg rondom die voete van die Twaalf Apostels wat links van my lê."

"The audience must confront the uncomfortable realisation that our Western ideas of civilisation, progress and superiority are fundamentally outdated."

"Wesens is a gem, a rebel that successfully challenges traditional Afrikaans filmmaking."

"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?"

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

"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."

"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."

"Mag elke vrou ekstra liefde en bederf ervaar op ’n baie spesiale dag. Elkeen word so baie waardeer."

"Careful combinations of cinematic elements carry a weighty topic with an aesthetically pleasing backdrop – a masterfully executed film for fans of indie productions and for those who are undaunted by the truth."

"It is a surprisingly beautiful message derived from brutally honest and ever-relevant commentary on human society as a whole."
