The film was very positively reviewed by the gay and lesbian media, with AfterEllen.com calling it "one of the best-conceived queer films of the past year – a sincere, beautifully realized vision of love and resistance in an intolerant world." The movie also enjoyed a warm reception in South Africa, winning 11 awards at the SAFTAs including Best Director and Best Writing Team. The film received a 25% "rotten" score and an average rating of 4.6 on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rotten Tomatoes )〕 Sarif is the recipient of Best Director awards for ''The World Unseen'' film from the South African Film and Television Awards,〔("Unusual film sweeps Saftas; Janet van Eeden talks to the writer and director of The World Unseen, a film that highlights the plight of Indian women under apartheid." ), ''The Sunday Independent'', 15 February 2009 .〕〔("Apartheid era love story ''The World Unseen'' scoops 11 Saftas" ), ''The Witness'', 22 February 2009.〕〔http://www.tvsa.co.za/showinfo.asp?showid=3260〕 the Phoenix Film Festival〔http://www.phoenixfilmfestival.org/pages/story-view.php?id=418〕〔("Movie Reviews: First week of Lesbian & Gay Film Festival is rich with diversity" ), ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'', October 16, 2008.〕 and the Clip (Tampa) Festival.
