I truly enjoyed this film. It focuses on the lives of a writer/professor, his professional friends and their relationships. This is an intellectual film, which I found to be well-written, well-acted and imbued with good humor. Also has a banging soundtrack.

While the acting was solid, the characters are led through a bunch of situations - many of which are drinking scenes - where the jealousy, love, anger, commitment, and freewill are explored. Overall, the film is scattered and disconnected. Even the B-Roll is duplicated. The story also tries to be intellectual, hip, and socially progressive against a backdrop of traditional values. This just confuses the view into thinking the movie might be about something. Ultimately, the movie ends.

I had to watch this movie just to forget the dreadful Black Panther i had watched earlier in the day and i must say CF is a breathe of fresh air. Its a South African movie not about AIDS, crime or poverty. I could have easily given 7/10 but that would not be because of the quality of the film but because of the nostalgia of seeing places in Johannesburg i recognized. Sam and Max are a middle class couple living in Johannesburg. They don't have kids so all they do (when money allows) is hang out with friends. Then a middle aged, well known writer and free spirit by the name Heiner shows up in their home and kind of disrupts the harmony. I say kind of because i had no idea why Max strongly felt Heiner would have sex with his wife while he was in Cape Town because the guy wasn't even talking to Sam let alone getting close to her. If anything he was an ideal guest. This is why i gave 6/10 because Max's fears are unfounded and yet all along he came across as a cool guy. Another issue i had problem with is did Heiner have sex with Sam or it was Max's imagination running wild ? The confrontation does not help answer this question because Heiner does not give a definite yes or no when asked if had sex with Sam.As you would expect a film written and directed by a stand up comedian is bound to be funny. So is this one except that Max kinds of repeats the joke that same very moment but it only happened a few times.. The acting is good another breathe of fresh air. The sound is not of high quality all the time there is even a cringe worthy scene were two characters are talking in a room and we see them from outside the room and it seems the boom operator was outside too. I don't know what to say of the cinematography maybe that is what was intended. In short this film is a step in the right direction. Now i am waiting for a South African film with a Hollywood feel in terms of cinematography and production design.

Excellent easy going movie about a middle class young married couple. Doing life in Joburg, South Africa. Brilliant. Sexy. Funny. Thought provoking too. Top class Mzansi quality. Simply well done!
