Boring movie... Lacked plot and repetitive storyline. The film could have been 15 minutes and it would have covered the whole plotline. That's 90 minutes of my life I'm not getting back. Also, I faulted the inclusion of joke Jacobs and the other women, even Olunde. The only person central to the plot apart from Elesin himself, shaffy bello (iyaloja) was the white man. And maybe Amusan. It was too weak a story and the acting was sometimes annoying. Maybe it's the dialogue or the one who wrote it. I couldn't understand why Odunlade (Elesin) shouted sometimes. Olunde was too intent on lecturing the white man that his words just felt forced and flat. I'll give it a 2/10. We have witnessed great movies this year that this one was just too terrible for me. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Just finished seeing the movie, not my kind of movie though, very poor in terms of entertainment, but message passed across. A kunle afolayan in place of Mo abudu would have directed such a genre of movie better. 1 Like |

I love the display of culture but the acting wasn't so great apart from Shaffy Bello. I believe that historically, that was how the abobaku matter came to an end but it wasn't depicted in the film. Perhaps I should read my history books and Soyinkas book on the storyline again. 2 things... I think Yoruba films should do less of nudity so our young ones can watch and learn the historical aspects of our lives. I don't understand how the white man was able to understand and respond perfectly to those speaking Yoruba to him. No interpreter...I kept trying to find someone doing that. Lol |
