Powerful movie I was mesmerised from start to finish. Powerful acting, very real, makes one think, almost feel what it was like for the poor slaves. Harriet Tubman was a real hero, a Joan of Arc of the American South. The soundtrack songs u can almost cry to. The movie uplifts you in a way that makes whatever problems you think you have seem trivial... This movie is the Brave Heart of the fight for freedom of the gallant south.

Probably one of the best roles of Katie Holmes ever, an actress that has clearly matured and come of age. The movie is so tender, so gentle, so uplifting... Kudos Katie !!!

Beautiful, beautiful movie, so real, it's unreal....

Thoroughly enjoyed it... bravo... a small but significant African masterpiece very raw

I subscribed to BFI Player just to watch it. The movie Banel e Adama is epic and full of Archetypal symbols... I am not even sure Ramata is aware of what she has created here... Banel is the incarnation of the free Queen of Heaven, passionately, possessively, angrily, vengefully in love... She is Eve from the garden of Eden reincarnated in Evil times. She rejects superficial traditions and wants something different for her and her love Adama. Adama is Reason, she is Heart, Soul. Banel rejects fatalistic determinism and dreams of the time when men and women were masters of their own destiny... Banel is Kali the goddess of wanton destruction and violence, she kills birds and lizzards with her sling for no apparent reason... she killed her first husband to be with her true love Adama. Adama appears confused and scared, he succumbs to superficial traditions, is he really the Archetype of the First Man Adam? May be we have been handed down a misogynistic story of Creation, perhaps Eve came first and out of her womb came Adam... the film ends with a Sand Storm, a desert Typhoon one of the ancient Pharaonic Supreme gods. Death naturally ensues but the rain also comes and the circle of life turns again... Critics that said the movie needs a story are superficial, uneducated ignoramuses. Bravo for this African masterpiece !!! No reference to Senegalese Sufi Islam, but the silence and the sound of wind that permeate the movie are deeply spiritual and symbolic of the metaphysical...

The film is at the Quintin Tarantino level only not as vulgarly gorey... the music, the acting, the plot. Bad asse movie pure and simple, bravo !!!

Powerful movie, kudos to Idris Alba who remains true to his roots, kudos to the director, the actors... well done. A true war movie is a sad one, there are no winners, and Beasts of No Nation brought tears to my eyes...

This is hands down the baddest racially charged series about Police corruption I have ever watched... the twists and turns in the plot, the highs and lows, the heroism of KJ and Fish, the pain of Brenton's mother, the cruelty... the writing, the acting wow all from a Netflix series. It's 4:14 am, I just finished binge watching Seven Seconds and I want to congratulate all involved in this American masterpiece. I hope it helps advance the cause of fighting racism and stopping the hate... Love, Rami Elias Kremesti

This movie is so bad a$$ it's Quentin Tarantino level... im glad I caught it b 4 it left Netflix UK...

I'm binge watching it and really enjoying this Netflix gem. South African equivalent of Beverly Hills 90210 but much better tbh, some amazing twists in the plot. Hair and make up is amazing, u get to know about the posh side of South Africa, cute young actresses, creative costume designs. Good to see mixed race/social background kids mingling, it projects a positive vibe for South Africa. Best wishes for all involved in this production bravo.
