- Critics' reviews
-
-
"This is filmmaking meant to engage the heart-and other visceral organs-more than the mind"
-
"A wrenching picture about South Africa that makes no expedient compromises with feel-good entertainment values, A Dry White Season displays riveting performances and visceral style."
-
"Here's a good, honorable, but not great anti-apartheid movie"
-
"Dry White Season is no less predictable than its predecessors, but its frankness and sincerity matter more than its fundamental bluntness"
