Die Burger Christiaan Boonzaier 'Light of My Life' skyn nie baie helder nie.	10
24.com Herman Eloff The film - which was written, directed, and stars Affleck – is a sombre cinematic masterpiece that slowly and carefully takes on highly sensitive themes such as gender, sexuality, and the patriarchy.	15
RSG Leon van Nierop Dalk is ek verkeerd, en buitelandse juigende resensente reg, maar al gee jy my die Lotto-wennommers, sal ek nie LIGHT OF MY LIFE weer deursit nie.	8
