The After (2023)
A cinematic masterpiece not to be missed.
"The After" is truly an emotional journey, capturing the essence of grief in a raw and genuine manner. It conveys a profound message about loss that stays with you long after viewing.
Oyewolo's standout performance as Dayo (under Misan Harriman's masterful direction) speaks to the human condition and resonated deeply with me. The film's cinematography paints a melancholic yet hopeful atmosphere, making each frame a visual poetry.
The narrative, while poignant, also offers moments of light, subtly reminding us of the strength that lies n resilience and hope. With its intricate storytelling and powerful performances, "The After" stands as a testament to the beauty and complexity of human emotions. A cinematic masterpiece not to be missed.
The Hateful Eight (2015)
The Soporific Seven
This is the second time in my life, and the first time in 20 years I'm walking out of a movie. I would have stayed, but I was struggling to stay awake and my snoring would have been disruptive to other moviegoers. I walked out at the intermission so I can only review the first part of the movie.
This movie is really a play... and I could be fine with that, but it's a very long, very slow play. Sure the cinematography is great, the acting is great, the dialogues are good. Sure I can enjoy the tensions of suspense building up when nothing happens... but nothing happens for hours, and it becomes intensely, profoundly boring.
I don't need a movie to be action packed to be interested in it. 12 angry men was an awesome movie, and it kept you on the edge of your seat. In hateful eight, I didn't really care about any of the characters or their story, it was just a long ordeal of hoping the movie would get better.
