4/5 very compelling
  by mistermaxxx@yahoo.com (usa)
it started off very ordinary and then went into a different twist and rather quickly where the baby was concearned.

the film takes a serious of turns and spins. very fast paced and is interesting from start to finish. the film has alot of emotion and meaning. very sad and a struggle between so many elements going on. the kind of movie where you stay on the edge of your seat and wonder what is next. i thought it was very well directed and acted.

5/5 quite excellent

a colorful, well-scripted film.....the acting is very real and the
story is unique and telling enough to qualify as perhaps important.
this is an intense film which deals with some of the very painful realities of being born impoverished in an already desolate environment.....and yet the conclusion leaves one with hope.

5/5 Redemption Tale
  by barb janes (Winnipeg, MB, Canada)
For those who think humanity is beyond repair, TSOTSI tells a tough story. Unflinching in its look at gang violence, equally unflinching in its look at how the tragedies in one person's life led him down that path, and, best of all, unflinching in asserting his human decency. A brilliant film, based on a story by Athol Fugard - a must for collectors.

4/5 Depravity to Decency: Exploration of Redemption
  by R. Crane (Washington, DC United States)
Tsotsi takes place outside Johannesburg, South Africa, in a poor slum district known as Soweto township. In reality it is one of the ugliest, poorest and most dangerous communities on the planet. Tsotsi ("thug") is one of the meanest, hardened criminals living there. A child of abuse, poverty and deprivation, he is inured to moral values, particularly "decency".

He blithely commits atrocious crimes without a second thought until one day, after shooting a woman and stealing her car, he finds he has also unwittingly taken her baby.

This is a story that explores a person's journey from the depths of moral depravity to decency. No matter what he has done, it is impossible to watch this moving story without being touched by his reach for redemption. It has justifiably won multiple awards.
