It suffers from an abundance of transparent acting, simplistic plot twists and music that essentially screams, 'These are important scenes to behold!'
Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle

Drawing upon her own heritage as a descendant of South Africa's large Indian community, Sarif brings more than a dozen interconnected characters to life.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

It doesn't leave you cold, but it doesn't exactly make an impression, either.
Kamal Al-Solaylee, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Less an account of hatred and injustice in apartheid-torn South Africa than it is a soap opera-ish romance that could easily be an episode of The L-Word.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
