Well done! They got it right.

This is the result of what you get from an excellent script, matched with excellent cinematography, excellent actors and excellent directing. You get an excellent movie. I cannot find any error on any level in this film. It's just plain excellent. I am a white Afrikaans speaking person, who grew up surrounded by farmers, and coming from several generations of farmers, I can confirm that this is absolutely authentic. Sure, it's pretty depressing at some stages, but life such is life. It's got enough of all aspects, and keeps you wondering till the end, with the plot never blurting itself out or being too obvious. I was emotionally drawn into this film, and the characters were very real for me.

I aspire to make films like this one day, with this level of excellence. I highly recommend this film.
