This is an excellent film.
I've always enjoyed James Earl Jones, and this portrayal of a South African minister is among his better efforts because he underplays what many would have done. I've NEVER seen a film in which I liked Richard Harris until this one; he's rock steady here in his portrayal of a previously bigoted father struggling to cope with the murder of his son. Charles Dutton is, perhaps, the best here I have seen him. And Vusi Kunene, a South African actor, is wonderful as another minister who assists James Earl Jones in finding his son.
The story is so good. Touching while showing us the evil face of apartheid and all that that system of government spawned.
Many of the scenes of the countryside are remarkably beautiful.
All around, this is a fine motion picture, and I'll give it a rare commodity for me -- an "8".

You don't have the right to miss it!
This is certainly one of the best movies I've seen in the last weeks. "Cry, the Beloved Country" brings very good acting and touching plot that make you see the cruel reality of apartheid without scenes of violence and blood. James Earl Jones and Richard Harris show how talented they are playing two great roles.
My Rate 8/10
