Review of Tsotsi (2005) by Jim H — 21 Jul 2013
A hard-hearted street thug accidentally kidnaps a baby and must care for him.
A basic morality tale, Tsotsi hits all the right notes in a maudlin song. The healing power of love, the innocence of childhood, the permanence/importance of parental love -- all the usual themes are stuffed in this film. Added to this is the simplistic explanation for Tsotsi's behavior, his abandonment by he parents. Overall, it's all a cliche, but it's a well done cliche.
