4th Republic

It was great to see a major film production from Nigeria. While the language was choppy to me, it worked because the English spoken was pidgin, which covered or excused poor acting or timing, and worked most of the time. I thought the main actors were excellent. The story itself was good and, while it was drawn out over two hours, was realistic and still kept my attention. Being unfamiliar with Nigeria, it was culturally interesting too.

An African drama. It deals with an irregular governor elections where in a district there are murders, which makes the commisssions annul in that place, that causes the candidate who lost to start a campaign where she proclaims herself the legitimate president and takes the case to court so that they can be do justice to electoral fraud. Does history sound familiar to you? I think things like that don't just happen in Mexico, it's global. Quality. Entertaining. Some actions are not fully achieved but it works. The torture and murder scenes are well managed. It explores corruption, electoral fraud, party influences, and mismanagement in the political sphere. The third act takes a turn that will leave you with a sour taste of the film.

4th Republic was sizzling, full of mystery, and engaging till the end. A well-designed screenplay

DELICIOUS

-The cast selection has to be our favorite😍 They solidified the storyline by giving us different emotions and taking us on a ride

-The plot was sophisticated as it dived into the dirty hands of politics bringing versatile characters and sending strong messages about the current state of affairs. The twists added more flavor to the narrative.

-We enjoyed the mysterious and suspenseful aura that was fueled by the score and brutal murders ordered by unknown parties

-Thank you for the thought-provoking dialogues, especially between Ike and his boss Mabel, the foreign journalist, and his colleague Bukky

-Great work on the visual and special effects

BLAND

-The weak color grading was excessively distracting as it failed to accentuate characters and at times, some scenes were completely grayed out.

Cinematography could have been more dramatic to stir our emotions.
