I really loved the songs in this film. Diving into movies is not a bad thing. I just think that Tiwa should work with a Director like Kemi Adetiba for her next project. She would help her fill the necessary loopholes. I sha didn't understand why Tiwa's character was always smoking.
Her most urgent issue is that she needs a better writer. I tried to find the pedigree of this scriptwriter. Couldn’t find. Tiwa can afford a very good writer.
Tito, thank you for your review. I need your level of calmness when I review films. Im too emotional, I get overly angry and i really can’t understand how you didn’t explode explaining this film😭😭
So I had watched this review few days ago, but i’m back to say I can’t wait to hear your take on the AMVCA winners. It’s funny how because the dynamic with voting has changed, we’re able to see more “befitting” wins (in my humble opinion) That being said, I think the name of the award should be changed at this point, because it’s no longer “viewer’s choice” o! 😂 I’m just thinking about some really good misses in years past because some faves just had mad fans and following. Anyway, like I said, i’m eager to hear your take 😁
Oh yeah? 😆 It was so uncomfortable doing a review in my car while getting g ready for an award ceremony. Glad I got it out of the way sha cos if I hadn’t I doubt if I would’ve inclined to do it after the AMVCAs and all its excitement.
I love this style of review! The car set up is lovely! Please review “Strained” Queen Nwokoye even got nominated for an AMVCA for best actress for the role so I’d loved to hear your thoughts on it 😊
I appreciate your mentioning the police harassment scene. I forgot, and you’re right in saying that that’s the only scene I felt something. Even the reveal scene I didn’t feel anything. They kept complicating things: -They could have left her leaving be as a result of her brother’s death. Instead they ruined it by adding that she always wanted to leave. -They could have left her returning be about the death of a cousin. Instead it became about “the pressure is too much”. Like! They kept getting in their own way. People who come from abroad and dress in Africa like they’re still abroad, I don’t have any comment on whatever reception you get. I was really scared in that police scene but a part of me was like “but Aunty, are you mad?”
Great review Tito. I only watched because of Mike and Andrew but was impressed by younger Kay. Mide and Kay nailed it. Jemima was forgettable. Tiwa should have settled for a minor role such as Jemima’s even. I feel like Andrew’s edge was lost because he was struggling with the pidgin and pulling off a 9ja accent especially being that he has a predominantly British accent and less versed with 9ja pidgin. In conclusion, the film was merely an extended music video.
Very accurate review. I don't know if you've seen Kanye west Runaway movie where he played songs from his album Runaway. I thought Tiwa was trying to do something like that but then again Kanye's Runaway had a structured storyline and was easy to follow. Again, this was very accurate review, Keep up the good work. I look forward to more.
Firstly that movie has no substance, it was a total black out to even think it went on prime time , the storyline is nothing to talk about and this my honest truth , I couldn't get anything from it
Your review is apt. I usually decide about a movie within the 1st 15 minutes...because of Tiwa I tried my best not to give up but by 30 minutes in, I was done...and not impressed....Everything was slow...I'm into whodunnit kind of films so I already figured Kay was involved in Mide's death so I was not surprised at the end .. the only thing I liked about the movie was the quality and bright colours.. aside of that, the movie was nothing to write home about ...
I think the writer was more focused on making it about Tiwa, the star, versus Aisha, the slumdog millionaire designer. Trying to script Tiwa into the movie distracted from a better story line that could have been better delivered considering the great performances of the minor actors. They should have scripted her a minor but poignant role and allowed the other actors to do the work. I guess they did not want anyone outshining her, which in IMO, is a mistake because most often supporting actresses tend to give better performances in many cases.
I feel like when she came back, they should have shown scenes of her mourning with her friend. (Atleast, that’s why she came back) Also, probably falling hard for Kay in the process then the plot twist wld be finding out Kay killed her brother and now she starts seeking for revenge. That would have been a better story. I don’t even know where the story was going. And Tiwa’s first 2 outfit she wore when she was out with jemima were too revealing for her character IMO. It didn’t fit the setting or maybe it’s just me. Overall the movie was a 4. For the cinematography, the good looking cast (everyone was fine) and then the sound (music).
Tito and sarcasm are 5 and 6, lol. Which one is ‘If you want to be front and center'? Anyway, do more reviews in the car. 1.5 is too much. It's E for Effort.
Her personality is her only bane in this project , we could have been encouraging an up commer from no where ...but expected so much from her forgetting she is also an commer in the world of make believe
My question is where is Eastside??? And why is nobody talking about the Twi that was being spoken in the movie by some characters ( Kay, the police officer and one other guy). At some point, I thought they were in Ghana. But then some people were speaking Yoruba as well so I got really confused. I’m very disappointed that Tiwa can do such a horrible movie.
@@saintines1600how does a movie being shot in a certain country take a way the fact that it should depict the culture of that country. Being shot in Ghana was a prime example of why they should have stuck with a certain culture from that location.
Hello I'm reaching out to you as I've been following your RUclips channel and I'm impressed with your content. Your video quality is much better.But I found some issues with your channel. If you don't fix your channel's problems, you will never grow your brand on RUclips. I can help you expand your brand if you want.
I could not watch past 15 minutes! I am glad I did.....
I love this "in my car" review!
Your French is getting a lot better 👏🏾👏🏾 Welldone ❤

Thank you Tito for the clarity. Now, I know why I was confused, I wasn't one of the audience they had in mind 😂
As someone in the diaspora I'm here to tell you. iT's not you. Its the movie. I did't get it either
I’m short of words on the movie, nice review as usual, I admire your dedication and commitment to your craft bruh.
Thanks so much my good sis. I appreciate youuu. 🤗🌟🤗
Tito, thank you for your review. I need your level of calmness when I review films. Im too emotional, I get overly angry and i really can’t understand how you didn’t explode explaining this film😭😭

I usually do a vn to my husband and friends first where I expel the rant. So I can cone to my mic relatively calm. Doesn’t always work, though.
I’m loving the car review 😂

Ayyy AMVCA, I’m so jealous.
I agree; bad timing!!
Let me watch the review.

Hey, fancy meeting you here Ms. Osibu.

I feel like Andrew’s edge was lost because he was struggling with the pidgin and pulling off a 9ja accent especially being that he has a predominantly British accent and less versed with 9ja pidgin.

Well said, the movie has huge potential with how good the cinematography is, but it could have been better.
Enjoyed this review. Currently watching Water & Garri And I wish the Teenage Aisha had a closer resemblance to the Grown Aisha.
Very accurate review. I don't know if you've seen Kanye west Runaway movie where he played songs from his album Runaway. I thought Tiwa was trying to do something like that but then again Kanye's Runaway had a structured storyline and was easy to follow. Again, this was very accurate review, Keep up the good work.

Also the costume was as if they were in the 70s? but Tiwa had an iPhone in America? I wasnt sure if they were set in the 21st generation or earlier.
@@halimattomi258570s?
Firstly that movie has no substance, it was a total black out to even think it went on prime time , the storyline is nothing to talk about and this my honest truth , I couldn't get anything from it
Iranu ni film ye oooo😢😢😢😢😢 dem waste money and many other things
15:00 and they only showed from Tiwa’s (Aisha) point of view which is wrong. It’s just boils down to the development of the character as you said.
In conclusion,dont watch water and garri but go and drink garri with water
Remember to act sugar. Grandma lied; water does not make garri sweet 🤣🤣🤣
@@pearlosibu I forgot sugar. Also add ground nut for better enjoyment
😂😂😂
Lol
I like this switch up 😆

Finally, I've seen the movie and I was looking forward to this review.
Weldone tito, love your work.
Just a self indulging movie 😏
I guess tiwas younger brother was shot for me its still goving nigeria ghetto scene it will still a Nigerian movie
Mr eniola tito i would like you to produce a movie, something brilliant
Well it’s glad to know I wasn’t the only one. This movie was for non Nigerian aka oyinbo 😂.
I think the younger lead characters had more chemistry than the older ones
Titooo can you pleaaase review UNEXPECTED PLACES
The movie was turnioniown …. I liked the music though.
Tito na you know oo. i sha no see anything for that movie. Well done agian
Tito please review momiwa...
Abeg
I feel like when she came back, they should have shown scenes of her mourning with her friend. (Atleast, that’s why she came back) Also, probably falling hard for Kay in the process then the plot twist wld be finding out Kay killed her brother and now she starts seeking for revenge.
That would have been a better story. I don’t even know where the story was going.
And Tiwa’s first 2 outfit she wore when she was out with jemima were too revealing for her character IMO. It didn’t fit the setting or maybe it’s just me.

I still don’t know if it was set in Ghana or Nigeria
The movie was shot in Ghana
Same thing I kept saying . It was so off with the confused layout of culture depiction. At a point I had to think what is Twi and what is Yoruba.
@@saintines1600how does a movie being shot in a certain country take a way the fact that it should depict the culture of that country. Being shot in Ghana was a prime example of why they should have stuck with a certain culture from that location.

😄😄😄
