Title: Unmatched in Thoughtful Direction
Product review: "Tsotsi" is a major achievement, not merely in the performances onscreen, but in especially intelligent direction. For positive proof of this, the viewer should observe the alternate endings and deleted scenes with director Gavin Hood's commentary ON. He explains the choices made and what ultimately led to them in such a way that I am eager to seek out more of his work. I think this is the first time that I can say with no hesitation that the director actually made ALL of the right decisions for ALL of the right reasons, rather than being blindsided by his own ego.The non-professional actors are top-notch as well, and their inexperience lends authenticity to their roles. "Tsotsi" is not a suitable vehicle for a high-profile prima donna actor.I mention these things rather than the plot itself, which one can read about in other reviews. But by all means, see "Tsotsi" for yourself, and form your own opinions.
