Reception

The film was both a moderate critical and commercial success in South Africa and it received mixed reviews internationally. Picktainment.com said, "What White Wedding lacks in exposition, it gains in its honest portrayal of a country still lacerated by racial differences."[1] It grossed R1.1 million in the box office in its first week of opening and had accumulated R4.2 million in a seven-week run.
