In My Country (2004)
6/10
Loved the concept, wanted subtitles.

Warning: Spoilers
The movie about apartheid and forgiveness was intense. Unfortunately, I missed a very important plot twist at the end because I couldn't understand what was being said or what language was spoken. Dumi Mkhalipi, Anna's assistant apparently did something horrible to inspire someone else to shoot him in cold blood. I watched this section of the movie four times and still haven't a clue what he did.

I caught the words "pointed out" "on the highway", but this was a shocking plot twist that made absolutely no sense. Why did he die? I realize Dumi's death was simply a device to demonstrate that not everyone was on board with the whole concept of Ubuntu (forgiveness), but I would like to know what he did.

This supports the complaints of other reviewers about sound quality in the movie. Subtitles were an essential part of the movie that went ignored.
