Too easy


Beyond the River (2017)

Directed by Craig Freimond this film inspired by real events stars Lemogang Tsipa, Grant Swanby and Emily Child. A poor South African living in a township partners with a white South African to race in a canoe marathon.

Unfortunately this film is just too obviously constructed to give much faith it sticks close to any sort of true story. While there are some interesting elements to the film there are just too many familiar sports movie cliches. At least you can watch this one with your kids unlike Deliverance (1972).

2/5
