About A Safe Bet
34-year-old Pearl is the most sought-after attorney in the country, a beast in the courtroom, who has worked her way to the top, the downside? She has neglected her personal life, specifically in the department of love. When she receives a life changing prophesy at her local church, that the love of her life is going to be a man with the surname 'Dlamini' she sets out to try and find her soulmate.
Directed by Kgosana Monchusi, A Safe Bet leans on a strong ensemble — Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa, Lerato Makhetha, Altovise Lawrence — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2021.
