Watching this not knowing what I was getting into, I was VERY pleasantly surprised.
The acting was great all round, from the starcrossed multiracial central couple that were never meant to be, to the guy's racist sister who's one of the most repugnant individuals I've seen on screen in quite some time.
For a low budget film made in Africa, it's very well shot too, particularly a pivotal dinner room scene when the camera spins about a round table when tensions move to a head.
I don't know what else to say... the plot had me gripped from beginning to end, the period detail felt spot on and whilst there may be certain plot holes which aren't quite ever filled in, for a film which I approached with low expectations this surpassed them and then some.
A 7/10 all the way.
