Diagonaldi Very well executed

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

quattrocavelli There was a time, not too distant, when SA movies were not much more than lame copy-cat material. Those days are gone! And While You Weren't Looking truly shows that SA film makers have found their own authentic voice. And thank heavens for that too, as the movies made by others (mostly American as it happens) are unfortunate - Amercans are best at telling their own stories and now at long last, i can say Soth Africans are best at telling their own.Absolutely everything in this movie is excellent IMO. The directing is fresh and convincing, the way the story is introduced, told and edited - totally fresh and convincing. The cast is superb too - am hugely impressed by the level of acting, world class IMO. The cinema photography is SO fine.... Damn!!! And the music...Now I've gotta have this soundtrack!!!Also the choice of locations, and those marvelous street scenes filmed in winter; and the dusk & dawn scenes - all quite heartbreakingly beautiful. And the wardrobe and styling is spot on too.This is a movie I want to buy so I can re-watch it many times. A High Five to everyone involved in this uniquely SA work of Art!!!PS: you don't have to be gay to appreciate this movie. The story is much bigger than that.
