South African drama in which tensions rise between a group of men during a tribal initiation ceremony.
Ambitious, generous spirited South African feature that strays into melodrama.
Director John Trengove handles complex subject matter in a sensitive and insightful way.
John Trengove’s boldly transgressive film tells the story of a city kid’s traditional initiation ritual and the secret gay sexuality of his mentors in a mountain retreat.
A jarring conclusion sours what would an otherwise superb offering.
A tribal coming-of-age ritual is the setting for this tough but sensual gay romance.
