This is definitely the best movie of this year and I truly believe it will win best foreign film at the next Academy Awards. I urge every South African to see this... It's a reconciliation movie...

There isn't much to hold onto with this movie. If anything, Cry trivializes the plight of the South Africans in its breezy treatment of apartheid…

This movie was really bad. It had a bad plot, terrible visuals and I did not like the fact that there was no message like the originals had. 1.6/10…

Best film on the complexities of South African politics, cultures and people. A must see for very international student…

This is one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen…

A very difficult to watch film but very well made and acted film. The reality of apartheid comes full circle in a time of madness and love…

Just watched this powerful and moving story of redemption set during the worst years of apartheid in South Africa…
