Review of The Wooden Camera (2003) by Lee M — 03 Dec 2007
Predictable. Such a shame really but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad film. Just not surprising. Actually it entertained me enough to watch the whole thing and I have to admit I wasn't completely sure how it would turn out. I think that was mainly because I didn't expect them to do what they did, seeing as the characters were so young.
The acting however was on the mediocre side although Junior Singo (Madiba) was adorable so I guess that made up for the very annoying and bad acting from Dana de Agrella (Estelle).
I do feel that this movie could have gone in a different direction and possibly a better one (a less predictable one anyway) but like I mentioned before. That doesn't necessarily make it a bad film.
I should also add that just because this movie is South African doesn't mean it's not in English. So basically there are no subtitles to read for all the anti subtitle viewers.
