And as the previous comment notes, this movie is not quite just an apartheid allegory. That would be too easy. Instead, it's largely about present-day Johannesburg, with its massive population of unwanted illegal immigrants, its poverty and its horrific xenophobia. Just a few months ago black foreigners were being burnt and hacked to death in Johannesburg's streets, so the attitudes this movie alludes to have a fair bit of immediacy.

Honestly, this is one of the few movies I've seen recently that I feel perfectly confident in recommending to anyone. It truly is excellent.
