Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This film had a decent plot but the attempt to lower the standards and Americanize your movies South Africa is not the way to go. The drug use and excessive profanity is tasteless and it not what I remember films from this region to be. I use to love to watch films from this region because the plots were so twisted, people had culture and class. But now it seems like the films are being Americanized with unnecessary filler that we can just do without.
Husband and I reluctantly started watching the movie, not sure where the story was going. Good job we persevered, difficult to watch in places but with a stimulating sense of social realism and a focus on the thoughts and motivations of characters as opposed to a goal-driven storyline. Would love to see Kagiso Lediga on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah!
Catching Feeling is an easy relatable romantic comedy filmed in the backdrop on Johannesburg. Kagiso brings the funny side of the story in his stuck up academic demeanor while Pearl shows us why she was cast on Quantico and all that Eye/A$$ candy doesn't hurt one bit. How can I not mention Akin in his 3 way with a married woman. Well worth the trip to the movie theater or couch. get some popcorn and get ready to laugh.
Excellent easy going movie about a middle class young married couple. Doing life in Joburg, South Africa. Brilliant. Sexy. Funny. Thought provoking too. Top class Mzansi quality. Simply well done!
