    We were taken on a pleasant musical ride

    Obara'M charmed us with a pleasant musical ride😃 It was such a relaxing atmosphere, we put our spotlight on Nancy Isime and Darasimi Nadi for transforming this narrative!

    Unfortunately, some technical & production issues came in the way...

    DELICIOUS

    -It was so inviting that the movie opened up with a music session, we saw Oluchi singing and jamming with her band while her daughter Ihunaya was singing to the same tune in another location.

    A job well done on the soundtracks because it was funky, fun, gave us chills, hmm

    -Clapping ovation for the little girl Darasimi Nadi and Nancy Isime. They sublimed the film with an effortless chemistry

    -The film was for the major part poorly lit, but it worked! It accentuated the challenging environments Oluchi and her dad were living in

    BLAND

    -The sound engineering was sadly bad. We heard a lot of background noise coming on and off, there were recurring sharp and loud sounds that were unpleasing to the ears

    -The story dismissed the characters' psychologies. The same thing happened with the film "This lady called life".

    Ihunaya's father figure died yet the little girl barely had any moments of mourning apart from the tears she shed at the funeral. She just went about as if nothing ever happened to her.

    Plus, Oluchi's transformation wasn't gradual, which made it really look unconvincing

    -Though the music was impeccable, the vocals didn't match Nancy Isime's and Darasimi's voices

    -At the end of the day, Obara'M was a straightforward and common plot. We already figured out how things were going to unfold and how they would end.
