Most affecting scene (spoilers)


There were quite a few moments but one that touched me the most was during the break-in at the couple's house and Tsotsi is raiding the nursery for the baby's items. He just wanders up to the mural painted on the wall of an idyllic African sunset.

Other moments: taking the baby to see where the orphaned children live. Watching Miriam feeding the baby and talking gently to it and Tsotsi falls into a reverie as though he were the baby being nursed. And of course the recall of going to see his dying mother and his father breaking the dog's back.

Tosti's flashback to his Father stomping on the dog was pretty harrowing.
