To Freedom was an obvious plot from the start. We already figured out what it was about, it was just a matter of how the story would unfold. Plus, the poor execution sadly damaged a potentially good movie
DELICIOUS
-It was great to see that the story zoomed in on the main character's psychology, which is something often disregarded in Nollywood screenplays
We got to see Tobi grieving his missing wife, being depressed, confused, and at times it felt like he was hallucinating. You could see his entire body and reasoning affected by his wife's absence
BLAND
--The film was described as a psychological thriller but there were no elements of it. Psychological thrillers possess traces of mystery, crime, and a dark atmosphere, there should be moments of terror and horror, but the film simply narrated the case of a man looking for his wife and traumatized by her disappearance
-The production was sadly sadly not well executed😣
The audio wasn't crisp, if not for the subtitles, it was hard to decipher what some of the characters were saying
-The chemistry among actors felt very rehearsed, e.g. Elvina Ibru and Jide Kosoko appeared to simply be repeating their lines
-The costume design, the costume design😓 It was an obvious promotion of Kamsiie Couture instead of adding depth to the characters. Beverly Osu playing a therapist was dressed as if she was going to a runway show rather than keeping in mind that she was a doctor
-The sound effects didn't instill any fear and the color grading was way too bright for a thriller genre
Ahhhhh...this movie could have been better scripted in order to bring something new and exciting to the table but alas....
