ZEF: The Story of Die Antwoord Ratings & Reviews
- DTSaitoNovember 20, 2025Just saw ZEF: The Story of Die Antwoord, and wow, it’s a wild ride. It dives deep into who Ninja and Yo-Landi really are, not just the freaky, over-the-top stage versions. The doc is super visual (Roger Ballen’s art direction is everywhere), blending home videos, tour footage, and raw family moments, especially with their daughter narrating.  On the plus side: tons of rare footage, a real emotional core around their family, and it doesn’t shy away from the weirdness. But some, like me, might feel it glosses over darker parts Overall: provocative, visually intense, and oddly human, must-watch if you’re into Die Antwoord or just curious about the “zef” culture.

- grimsfieldMarch 12, 2025A highly biased and inaccurate biography of two terrible people who abused and exploited their adoptive children for profit.
