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.
Husband and I reluctantly started watching the movie, not sure where the story was going. Good job we persevered, difficult to watch in places but with a stimulating sense of social realism and a focus on the thoughts and motivations of characters as opposed to a goal-driven storyline. Would love to see Kagiso Lediga on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah!
Catching Feeling is an easy relatable romantic comedy filmed in the backdrop on Johannesburg. Kagiso brings the funny side of the story in his stuck up academic demeanor while Pearl shows us why she was cast on Quantico and all that Eye/A$$ candy doesn't hurt one bit. How can I not mention Akin in his 3 way with a married woman. Well worth the trip to the movie theater or couch. get some popcorn and get ready to laugh.
I had the chance to watch this movie with the director himself. A really great movie that takes place in the nice spots of Jozi & Cape Town. It's absolutely great to see Johannesburg city differently in this movie. It's (too) often associated to violence, safety, robbery etc. Couple relation is the main topic of this movie. The way it is approached with great sensibility and humor is a real pleasure to watch. I highly recommend this movie on a cold sunday of winter with a hot chocolate and your loved one :-) Thanks a lot!
