Review of Tsotsi (2005) by Rosemarie S — 18 Aug 2009
Given the buzz around Tsotsi, my expectations were high. Maybe unfairly so, given how disappointed I felt. I wanted something more like The Wire, but I got something not very far from typical Hollywood in feeling.
There are many good things about this movie - the performances, the cinematography - but as intense as the emotions are, the progression feels very familiar. Tsotsi might be a bit braver than mainstream American cinema, but it doesn't seem much bolder.
