A Young Time Ago

I have to admit when we saw the poster of A Young Time Ago, we didn't feel it was going to be interesting but we have to give it up to Tolu LordTanner the director, once again he produced a genuine project after 'The Wait'😃

DELICIOUS

-There was an effortless chemistry on set! We love the pleasantries exchanged between the friends on campus

-You could tell the scenario was carefully designed with inspiring dialogues and a play on the characters' names, e.g. Magic, Gabriel

-Loved that the psychology of the characters was considered: Tayo was a sensitive and shy guy and we saw that reflected throughout the story

-Tolu Osaile & Mofeyintola Jebutu had a sincere interaction 👏🏽

-The simple set and costume designs of the school scenes made the story look natural emphasizing that we were just dealing with ordinary university students going about their ordinary lives

BLAND

-Overall, the film was a casual story. It began with Daniel Effiong telling us about his past and how he eventually proved his love.

Nothing too extraordinary as these are stories we've seen many times before

-Some moments felt a bit unrealistic, e.g. A doctor is able to operate on a girl from a normal bedroom setting; how did Tayo suddenly perform well as a restaurant manager after many years of hiatus🤔

100%.... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

I LOVED HOW GOD WAS ACKNOWLEDGED

PROFESSIONAL ACTING

IT'S A MOVIE THAT SPEAKS OF HOPE AND GIVES YOU HOPE IT PORTRAYS THE BIBLE VERSE THAT SAYS *AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, TO THEM WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.* ROMANS 8:28 (KJV)

IT ALSO TEACHES ONE NEVER TO GET OUT OF CHARACTER NO MATTER WHAT LIFE THROWS AT YOU, *MAINTAIN YOUR INTEGRITY*

IT MOST IMPORTANTLY REMINDS AND REAFFIRMS THAT GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US AND CONSTANTLY WATCHING OVER US(THE CHARACTER "GABRIEL")

LASTLY IT RESTORES HOPE IN HUMANITY: REMINDING ONE THAT THERE ARE STILL GOOD FRIENDS OUT THERE.
