I found this movie interesting because I realized just how ignorant I am of South Africa's recent history. The movie seemed to give a fairly balanced retrospective of what went on during apartheid. That is, it showed many sides. I certainly liked the focus on forgiveness.
But as a film it was very mediocre. The cast could have done so much more. I found the characters to be very flat most of the time. When they did get emotional, it seemed forced. I couldn't really sympathize with any character.
It was a bit like watching a comedian who is telling good jokes with poor timing, if you know what I mean.
