Article content If you think Moffie sounds like the title of an animated movie about a delightfully precocious bear cub, think again. It’s actually a nasty Afrikaans slang word whose nearest English translation is the equally abhorrent “faggot.” In 1981 South Africa, it was tossed around a lot, both as a casual playground curse and a hateful epithet.

Moffie movie review & film summary (2021)

“Moffie” is one of those films where you’ll get more out of it if you bring a specific nostalgia for, or firsthand cultural experience of, what takes place in its story. Director Oliver Hermanus employs the technique of purposely leaving all emotion out of the film, opting instead to attempt an evocation of Stanley Kubrick in feeling and Terrence Malick in visuals. Cinematographer Jamie Ramsay provides some strikingly pretty pictures, but Hermanus makes the mistake of thinking Kubrick was a cold and unfeeling director. This common assumption is not true; viewers feel for Wendy and Danny, for HAL and for Vincent D’Onofrio’s Private Pyle, the tragic figure of “Full Metal Jacket.”
