SMS Sugar Man had its world premiere in March 2008 in London at the FILMOBILE Festival of films and art made with cellular phones. Helge Janssen said:

I cannot remember when last I watched a film with my eyes SO WIDE OPEN. I looked in the mirror afterwards and my eyes were bloodshot: I had hardly blinked. Philosophically, this film has eclipsed the existentialist novelist Kafka, when, lost in the labyrinth, he searched for meaning through the morass of bureaucracy getting nowhere. Here Kaganof (author, director, painter, poet,) searches for meaning by plumbing the depths of the male psyche, and gets everywhere. Modern Jungian analysts would have a field day in recognising the various aspects of the psyche: the multiple levels of the animus and anima, revealed with such dramatic comprehension.

Put bluntly, SMS Sugar Man is a cinematic masterpiece of its time, its place: which happens to be Johannesburg, South Africa.
