Life is a mystery. I honestly do not understand how a badly conjured screenplay gets into production. I am certain there are certain stages a script goes through until it goes into production. Should somehow the script manages to go into production with errors, while filming effort will be made to fix them.
Though it is a cheap movie, a talented crew would have come up with better film. I have watched many splendid movies with shoe string budgets. Primer (2004) comes to mind. I was not expecting Memento (2000) or Her (2014) kind of screenplay just a sensible movie. Some basic stuff just did not make sense in this movie.

A huge let down!!
This is one of those movies that were never meant to be released. It's as though when the writers were still busy with the plot, someone came in set and said "let's just do it, l have a plan".
The story line doesn't make sense at all. And why do we have people in their early 30's and mid 40's playing roles for teens. Come on South Africa.

Heartbreaking Movie
This movie emphasises the perlious cost of doing anything to achieve one's dreams.
Kedibone is a very sad and heart-wrenching movie about a poor young teen living in Soweto whose University funds are covered by her loyal boyfriend- after her aunty spent her varsity funds without her permission. Her dream is to become an actor, and she'll do whatever it takes to become one- even if it results in her betraying both herself and her loved ones.
It's painful to see how the adults in this movie exploit Kedibone's hunger to achieve her dreams; how she ends up almost losing herself entirely as she tries to fulfil their selfish whims for gain. Young, vulnerable and poor; she sees this route as her only way to stardom, but what she receives is the complete opposite of that.
The characters feel real, Kedibone's descent into despair as money and status tempts her into a life of materialism, popularity and treachery is saddening, and the movie's chilling message on how one can end up destroying themselves when doing anything to achieve their dreams- resonated with me.
Brilliant and thought provoking movie; I found it very relatable. Kedibone fell into a trap that any one of us could fall into.
