The Good: Beautifully cast with a team of young actors who express their characters with comfort and ease. They act the part as if they know these characters because they are aspects of themselves, something that I didn't expect of such an young cast. I found them to be believable recognisable and likable. The language used is an accurate portrayal of the vernacular of the time and space, I haven't heard anyone called a 'geebag' in years and to hear it used so unselfconsciously made me snort with laughter.
The Bad: While the sketches within the film were excellent stand alone pieces, together they didn't add to the overall story. You left with what you were given in the first five minutes. If there was a message in the story I left without it.
In short: Plenty of texture but lacking in shape, though admittedly, I got a lot more out of this film than what I expected.
