A Great Movie Review for this Sunday! - Ovy's Voice

I cried!
I laughed!
I giggled!
I was exasperated!
I screamed!
I smiled and chuckled and sobbed!
And most of all, I loved!

Oh my God! This movie wrung every possible emotion from me. I do not care if Nollywood copied this movie; if they did, then they copied it well.
If they didn't copy, then, Wowza!!

The film is about a mute make up artist whose sole means of communication is through the written word, becomes close to the son of one of her best clients, however there is an obstacle stopping her from fully allowing him into her world.

Ah! I've never paid attention to Bisola Aiyeola, but she killed it! I hope she got an award for this film; me, I'll start seeing any movie she's in. She and Mofe Duncan, my God, the chemistry was sweet. Shaffy Bello did not disappoint and Uche Ogbodo too.

Written by Biodun Stephen - much respect. And directed by Dimeji Ajibola - I'm bowing for your tightness, director! 🙌🏽

This film handled so many societal issues without being obvious about it. The movie just flowed, at first it was about a mute girl who surpassed her disability to make something of herself. Then we see how her clients love her, then how she meets this arrogant guy who practically falls at her feet in love with her later. But the high point was finding out what made her mute in the first place. 

The movie tells us that Love is real. 
Disabilities are real but not limiting in today's world. 
And abuse, in all sorts of depraved forms, are real too. So be aware. 

This is a movie to see.  
I'm still pinching myself and wondering if this is a Nollywood film. It definitely wasn't the usual. 
Seriously, if I could hug these guys, the actors and director and writer, I would! 

Ciao! 
On to the next movie 🎥 ...

Emem Bassey. 😘

Movie Recommendation - Overcomer!

Made in 2019, I have no idea why I'd not seen this movie until now. Perhaps it was the right time. I'm not going to review Overcomer, I'm telling you to see it. Words from me cannot explain the morale that comes from seeing this film. So, find it and see it. Enjoy. ABOUT OVERCOMER From the creators of the #1 box-office hit, WAR ROOM, life changes overnight for coach John Harrison (Alex Kendrick) after he loses his basketball team and is challenged by the school’s principal, Olivia (Priscilla Shirer), to coach a new sport he doesn’t know or like. As John questions his own worth, he dares to help the least likely runner take on the biggest race of the year. Filled with a powerful mix of faith, humor, and heart, this inspirational story will have you on the edge of your seat. The Kendricks Brother are obviously amazing. I never knew I'd seen any of their movies. But apparently, I've seen 5 of the 6 movies they've made. Ciao!

Movie Review: God Calling...

BB Sasore, thank you for this movie. I have no idea if you experienced this movie or someone else did, but, I am convinced this movie couldn't have been someone's muse - this was real life experience! Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't seen God Calling, you absolutely should. This movie has a star studded cast, amazing directing, apt graphics that just blow your mind and great acting that depicts reality to a zing. God Calling is about a family, man, wife and a daughter. They are happy, but wife doesn't like God or religion. It shows when she is forced to go to church by her little daughter and the pastor stops mid preaching to tell her 'God is calling you'. She scoffs it off and tells her husband that the pastor is looking for money. From thence, her life spirals out of control and brings her to a point she wants to kill herself... I cried and screamed during this movie, mostly because I've experienced something like it. Everyone needs to s

Pandemic Movie Review - Native Girl

It's been a minute, folks. Hope you're holding up okay in the lockdown. The pandemic has necessitated that we do any and all things and that includes all the channels on DStv,  even the terrible ones; cue - African Magic Epic...shoot me already! Anyway, this evening, the movie Native Girl came up and apart from the descriptive name, what caught my attention and held it was the director's name - Yul Edochie. (Ahem, a few of us fancy his gravelly voice). He's a great actor though, and this was the first time I was seeing him as director, I was really interested in the movie. Except, when the movie began, I got distracted by another person, the herione - Judy Austin. She was phenomenal as the native girl who could only speak Ibo language despite her absolute beauty. Brief description: Yul Edochie played Uchenna, a business man in the US whose mom wants grandkids and therefore introduces a woman to him on phone. Said woman is so beautiful he approves his mother&#
