- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A cascade of sentimentality straight out of Hollywood. Not even Chweneyagae's excellent acting or Lance Gewer's dark photography can save the film"
-
"The movie's heart, along with Hood's refusal to sugarcoat the grim reality, wins you over no matter how many times you've seen this story told"
-
"Whatever its weaknesses, Tsotsi is redeemed by its excellent performances"
