Starring Kai Luke Brümmer, Dylan Stassen, Matthew Vey, Stefan Vermaak Published Jun 02, 2021 8 Born in South Africa under apartheid, director Oliver Hermanus never gave much thought to the hardships of white South Africans. In his mind, he says in the film s press notes, all white people in South Africa have had it easy. This is true but imagine being a gay teenage boy in South Africa in the 1980s. They, too, saw prejudice as they lived a life of illegality. The film s title, Moffie, is a derogatory and oppressive Afrikaans term for gay. Many lives were ruined and changed due to apartheid and this included every white boy over the age of 16, who became the property of the state and was forced to complete two years of compulsory military service to defend a white supremacist regime against communism in bordering Angola. This, Hermanus says, forcibly imprinted upon nearly one million white boys a diseased ideology of white supremacy, racial intolerance ....
Ever since The Invisible Man, the upper-class wife whose luxury real estate becomes an overbearing metaphor for her isolating marriage seems to have become a go-to set-up for indie filmmakers. Last year we had Swallow and The Nest, and this year that plot gets a straight-up genre treatment in Held. The perennially pained-looking Emma (Jill Awbrey, who also wrote the script) is clearly over her square-jawed husband Henry (Bart Johnson), but they’re giving it one more try by escaping to a secluded, automated smart house vacation rental. Naturally, the property’s version of Alexa has other plans drugging them and forcing them into chivalrous machinations straight out of a 1950s marriage manual. Held doesn’t hold back, skimping on character development, rushing into the concept and mainly using the first act to set things up to pay off later. Basic druggy montages, a visually uninteresting set and an even more uninspired baddie sap ....
Better Tagline: I am in a world of shit. Not So Brief Plot Synopsis: In the early 1980s, all South African males age 16-60 were conscripted into the South African Defence Force to defend their country s apartheid regime against Soviet-backed Angola. One new recruit, Nicholas van der Swart (Kai Luke Brummer), has to contend not only with the brutal training, but hiding the fact he s gay (derogatorily referred to as a moffie in Afrikaans) from both military command and his brothers-in-arms. Critical Analysis: There s an adage that says the best time in history to live as a woman (or person of color, or LGBTQ) is right now. The next best time is tomorrow. Those fond of pining for the good old days tend not to fall into those categories, for reasons that should be obvious. ....
What’s new on VOD and streaming this weekend: April 9-11 Including Nomadland, Sugar Daddy, The Nevers, Held and Exterminate All The Brutes By Kevin Ritchie and Norman Wilner Apr 9, 2021 N OW critics pick what’s new to streaming and VOD for the weekend of April 9. Plus: Everything new to VOD and streaming platforms. Sugar Daddy (Wendy Morgan) NOW named Kelly McCormack one of Canada’s rising screen stars in 2019. Watch Sugar Daddy and you’ll see why: Morgan’s slightly stylized, emotionally charged drama stars the Letterkenny and Killjoys scene-stealer – most recently seen as an unwelcome guest in Ginny & Georgia – as a struggling musician who joins an agency that provides “paid dinner companions” to older men who don’t want emotional attachments, or anything further. Naturally, the reality of it turns out to be a little more complicated. McCormack wrote and produced the film, and does her own singing, but Sugar Daddy’s n ....
André Carl van der Merwe s autobiographical novel is the basis for this visceral, disturbing ride Author of the article: Chris Knight Publishing date: Apr 09, 2021 • 10 hours ago • 3 minute read • Kai Luke Brummer stars as Nicholas van der Swart in Oliver Hermanus’ Moffie.

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. ....
