What the Critics say | ||
24.com Gabi Zietsman If you have a strong tolerance for the obscure and weird, then perhaps The Whale Caller will appeal to your tastes, but it will struggle to find an audience outside of the cinephile circles. It did very well at the Durban Film Festival and won the Best African Film award at last year's Joburg Film Festival, but I think it might be a case like the Oscars -- critics may love it but the masses won't. | 5 | |
