From my perspective this is a remarkable movie

From my perspective this is a remarkable movie touching the transition of a child into adolescence while at the same time his parents split and form new relationships and all this happens in Swaziland as it gains independence from the British Empire. The director did live in this part of Africa and I was born in a former French colony in Equatorial Africa. Professional reviewers did not think highly of the movie, on the other hand major actors decided to participate and I am sure their motivation was not multi million fees. The story avoids descending into cheap melodrama. Most characters are descent human beings with weaknesses. Cinematography is good and according to the credits the picture was shot in that part of Africa. The action in the movie involves mostly ordinary situations. There is no extreme violence, fast and furious driving or explicit sex. It is a sad realization that fifty years later the Africans have not succeeded so far to self govern their continent very successfully, but this was not known at the time described in this movie.

Like any biopic the bits that hit best

Like any biopic the bits that hit best are the ones that resonate with the viewers own experiences and this film had plenty for me, albeit in a novel landscape. Never patronising the story gifts a flavour of a vanished, unloved world with authenticity, carefully observed/remembered and inspiring the veiwer to understand more of this place and period.
