Critic Reviews

Merle Bertrand

A heartwarming, cleansing film that's simply good for the soul. Read full review

Ruthe Stein

A warmhearted film. Read full review

Fred Camper

Director Mark Bamford has a feel for the entanglements of daily life, and his lively editing rhythm holds the multiple stories together. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Although by now routine, the intertwining of separate story strands is solidly structured, and the different mini-narratives resolved in unsurprising yet satisfying ways. Read full review

Dallas Observer Melissa Levine

It's facile, predictable, and contrived, but there's still something winning about this multicultural drama from South Africa. Read full review

Steve Davis

Cape of Good Hope is a hopeful piece of humanism that is difficult to begrudge too much. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Saw this film last year at the Tribeca Film Festival. They don't make many films like this - I highly recommend it to anyone looking to be entertained and inspired.
