Review of Newlyweeds (2013) by Ben H — 01 Dec 2013

Shaka King's 'Newlyweeds' is a must-see movie. Whereas it has been criticized unfairly for missing some cues, it plumbs the depths of the relationships between its main characters. While some of these characters smoke up a lot, that does not take away from their essential humanity.

This film therefore is quite humanistic. One by turns laughs at and feels pity for the protagonist. While the ending is ambiguous, I do not see the 'Newlyweeds' together in the end, unfortunately.

Maybe they will find each other again at some point, but not in this movie. Thank you, Shaka King, for such an amazing movie. 21 days: Wow!
