88A stirring, large-souled movie.
-
75Boorman treats this moving, important subject with restraint, tact, and candid views of horrors suffered by the nation.
-
60It's essential viewing for anyone interested in the state of post-Apartheid South Africa.
-
30Boorman's bathetic tourism is unconscionable for a subject of this magnitude; for an infinitely superior account of this chapter of South African history, seek out the documentary "Long Night's Journey Into Day."
