Angeliena (2021)
3/10
Amateur hour in South Africa
15 January 2022
Lots of effusive user reviews here, but they're inexplicable.

If you want to see a movie where the downtrodden of SA magically win, this film is for you. If you want to see a comedy that is charming and engaging, move on. The script is amateurish and hardly communicates a cogent plot. A real movie script should not require a "let's pretend this happened" element. That's kidstuff. The acting is a reminder that real actors DO exist, just elsewhere. The "good" characters are non-white, and the evil characters are white. Bring your ax, because this movie will help you grind it. The true magic of "Angeliena" is that it got made at all.

All due respect, but this thing is slap-dash and a waste of viewers' time.
