The story started off pretty cool but somehow I got bored after the school scenes. The script is simple, with very little happening. The acting is basic but the message is very solid and clear – do not be ashamed of who you are – for that it gets a couple o brownie points.
I suppose the signature song, beautiful as it may be, was repeated once too often.

The Story
Is her culture and her past love going to win over the trendy current and stylish present?
The Actors
My favorite characters were Lasandra Majola who takes the role of Young Noma. Her excitement at Ntuthuko smiling at her, her singing and reactions all felt so real. Young Gabi acted by Thandolwenkosi Gumed was also the perfect bully. Sbusiso Msimang made Smanga the perfect friend and felt like the guy you want to get to know as required of the script. Aside from these I probably would not have got to the end of this movie.

I loved the fashion show, the scenes at the oceanfront where Noma sings with her dad. All these are quite memorable
