Moffie Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
It's a coming-of-age movie that plays like a thriller...
Decider
Jade Budowski
Moffie is easily one of the best foreign films of the year so far.
In Review Online
Steven Warner
Hermanus does plenty to prove he's a talented filmmaker, but he hedges his narrative bets here, and a tale as potentially rich and complex as Moffie deserves more.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
[A] powerful microcosm of a society in which vicious bigotry of various kinds is not only tolerated but encouraged.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
I really liked this very much. It's quite moving.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The filmmaking is strong and confident throughout, while Mr. Brummer's performance is a constant revelation.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
It's an usual perspective for an apartheid film, something the director - who is gay and mixed race - has acknowledged initially recoiling from. But that point-of-view only makes Hermanus' mission all the more laudable.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Although Moffie is competently executed, its genre-straddling will leave you vaguely unsatisfied if you decide too quickly the kind of movie it should be.

Odie Henderson
I was more interested in asking the director about his choices than watching them play out, reminding me of Gene Siskel's question about whether a documentary about the film would be more interesting than the film itself.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
This is a gentle beauty of a film with impressive work from a young cast.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
But the emotional intelligence [Hermanus] infuses "Moffie" with... feels personal nonetheless, and empathetically inquisitive about the kind of masculine indoctrination that fuels oppression through rituals of violence and the criminalizing of identity.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
In "Moffie," there's no shortage of emotional trauma to go around.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
In depicting the horrific specifics of this particular man's awful military experience, Hermanus delivers in abundance.
NPR
Bob Mondello
Hermanus is working here from an autobiographical novel by André Carl van der Merwe, but he gives the film an air of lived experience.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Hermanus brings poetry to this depiction of a harsh indoctrination into hate and terror... an astonishingly sharp argument for demilitarization.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
A riveting portrait of a particular time and place while also being a broader assault on the type of pressure-cooker masculinity where torture, cruelty, humiliation and racism are the coins of the realm.
Slant Magazine
William Repass
Oliver Hermanus's film is a rumination on the consequences of apartheid on those who benefit from it most.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
The film lifts the lid on same-sex desire just enough to stir the pot but refuses to indulge in any unrealistic wish fulfillment when depicting a time when discovered transgressions provoked the most extreme consequences.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
It's often tough to watch, but that harshness is mitigated by moments of aching tenderness and desire.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Both a shiver-delicate exploration of unspoken desire and a scarringly brilliant anatomy of white South African masculinity.
