There was one continuity error I noticed and no one seem to be talking about it. After Rev Timi's wife and daughter were killed, it was said in the narration that he stayed out there for nine days. When he left that spot, his shirt was incredibly still clean for one who had slept out there for 9 days under the sun and in the rain. I thought tgat was too much to ignore but otherwise it was a great movie.
I saw it. Notice how I kept saying “no nitpicking…”. That’s cuz I had already decided (for personal reasons) to just ignore some things. There was also the historical inaccuracy of that whole royal visit…just negodu. This movie was more flawed than this review can cover.
I loved, loved, loved this film. Your observations are spot on. I still really enjoyed this film. Hollywood should pay attention. You don't always need nude, or bad language
When i learnt the same person who produced this movie , produced God calling..... I love the beginning of this Movie Breath of Life it was giving "this is a journey of my life" but the spoler
Yeah, I didn't remember her from Blood Sister cuz it was the first time ever seeing her and I have to see a face more than once to remember it, unless it's very unique. I'm amazing with names; not so much faces. I had not watched far from home. I finally did around Christmas. I have not watched A tribe called Judah. Unfortunately I don't have any access to cinema movies. So until it comes to streaming. I appreciate your comment. Thank you!
My view: "A lot of money spent - visually appealing but I do not think there was much of a story there. But then, that's me. 11 nominations no be beans"
Hi Pearl, I really enjoyed watching this a lot and I just want to say that you have such a deep mind. The way you pay attention to the little details everyone else would typically gloss over is impeccable. So I thought the movie was so beautiful to watch. Cinematography was excellent and the art direction was really good. I liked how they incorporated some of the old vintage stuff. Like the cars, bleach, projectors etc. My favorite scene in the movie was probably the saddest overall. The scene where Eku Edewor and her daughter got burnt in the car with Timi watching. That was spectacular cinematography. Acting was also very good. I am surprised you don't remember Genoveva Umeh from Blood Sisters and Far from Home. Her acting is always on point. Demola Adedoyin's perfomance was very intense too. Every other person in my opinion, delivered quite convincing performances but those two really stood out for me. I also agree with your points about the character Anna showing a lot of red flags especially with boundaries. She could have really done better. Plus the sequence of Timi's death in church/transplanting his lungs without a test to show that it was a match (Yes we know he has great lungs but even though)/Elijah waking up to say "my daddy" felt kinda off to me. It could have been handled better. When I was watching the movie, I was thinking to myself about how Sambasa Nzeribe's has been stereotyped as the violent/troublemaker guy causing chaos everywhere and then I heard you also mention it in the review, that was a yassssss moment for me. Nollywood casting producers really need to give the man diverse roles. He has so much depth to him. Overall, i would say it was a great movie. The year ended pretty strong for the general outlook of Nollywood movies. Looking forward to more of your reviews and great job, once again. 👍👏
This is such an insightful and incisive comment; thank you. I chuckled at your excitement when one of your observations was validated. I get that feeling 100%. Your comment finally lit a fire under me to watch far From Home. I'd never watched it. I did watch Blood Sisters but perhaps her character was too minor for me to remember. I typically need to see an actor more than once to continue to remember them - unless they were a lead. The character of Anna: I mean, she can be nasty or whatever, but they should not expect me to like her. Her attitudes could have fit in another type of archetype, but not the romantic lead, no ways. I really appreciate your comment. Thank you.
I couldn't agree less except the points u raised about Genoveva's character, opposite attract, her sassy and daring personality attracted him to her, I have seen it worked even in real life, I can't imagine playing the perfect girlfriend,it would have been boring, but in all, I agree totally with ur points.
Yes!!! To throwbacks. Since i started watching your reviews, I now pay attention to things like establishing shots, score etc I love hearing your opinions about these trending movies and I follow your recommendations. Thank you for all you do
Ugh, don't make me cry. You guys are so good to me. Please share the love. And thank you so much. Comments like yours are why I do this and it makes it all worth it.
I appreciate your comment very much. Thank you. Please hang around because I'd like to keep hearing from you, especially when we disagree 😊. Happy New Year!
Stumbled on your channel. This is a fantastic review. You say you haven't done any films before but you actually have a lot of knowledge about filmmaking and storytelling. The religion part of the story won't let a lot of Nigerians agree with you. The movie indeed lacked depth. Well done!
Jeez. Just found your channel and I'm hitting the subscribe button. I came on here to look for a review kn "A weekend to forget". I love this review and would love to see more. I also do movie reviews too but so lazy to start in reality.😂. Weldone. A new follower here
I have the right to an incredible viewing experience, and so I won't settle. Amazing review like always, Pearl. I'm yet to see this movie, so I have no real opinions of my own. Only watched this because I realized once the buzz was over, I'd probably not see it for a very long time. Having gotten the sense of what it's about, I'm wondering how you think this film compares with "Scent of a Woman," on the strengths of the relationships portrayed and the emotional journey conveyed. Not a faith based movie, but it's the one film that comes off the top of my head from all I've heard. Incredible viewing experience here in your reviews. Happy New Year.
Yes you do!! 😅 I think i might have to watch SOAW again because it’s been a REALLY long time since i watched that. But i did remember Al Pacino’s abrasiveness. I’ll get back to this comment after i do. I love relationships that are not romantic.
Nice review Pearl. This film was truly a gift to all us. BB is a friend of mine, worked with him in the past. Listened carefully to your well thought out analysis - great job. Now about Timi, I think his redemption arc was really predicated on Elijah’s predicament. As regards the love bit, I agree on your assessment of the romantic rendezvous between the ‘love birds’. In my own analysis, I quite agree that it was not entirely Faith based. There were inklings of that but the film is essentially about one man’s story of grief and a different kind of redemption
Look, considering that you are BB's friend and have this view is so validating. Thank you. I'm not sure what about Elijah's predicament would change Timi's mind. If anything, it would be like wait, the same thing is happening to me again? But that's just how my mind works, I guess. But I'm more interested in the relationship between them and how I don't think I saw the depth there. I really wanted to see that from the trailer. I appreciate your comment and watching. Thank you.
@@pearlosibu I agree with you. There was no depth to their relationship. There was no defining factor that turned their work relationship to a family like relationship. Elijah didn't do anything out of the ordinary. It didn't work for me. I think they tried portraying this faith based statement in the movie, "My father was a very special man, who lived is entire life for the purpose of giving me life" but it didn't work. Elijah's relationship with his girl was more pronounced than what he had with Mr. Timi, which ought not to have been.
@@phasesbyanderson5228exactly. The love story was better crafted. 35years and his butler who is like family did not help him. Then Elijah by being unable to breathe? 😅
When i learnt the same person who produced this movie , produced God calling..... ? I loved the beginning of this Movie Breath of Life it was giving "this is a journey of my life" especially emotions when the Wife and child that scene was (from her tearing her cloth to blind fold her baby girl , I was just imagining what it was like for that lil girl getting burnt it was so 😭). but the actual spoiler started, with Wale ojo not fleshing his character so well as I have always known him for .... At some point, I had to start questioning if the characters are for this movie tho .... All the Actors know very well how to act their roles in most movies I have seen and that is why I will say YES ,that is award deserving but it's not actually Breath of life that gave them that maybe the tons of likes from Nigerians for this movie but then they are great actors I must say ...it's their cumulative Hardwork in the movie industry Geneova ,Wale ojo, Chimezie imo Great Great actors And they were not giving into this movie as they should.... I believe that ,breath of life has a good story to tell us but the Actors getting in character and giving it . I preferred the younger Timi to have even continued the acting.... what will it take just make him up with the white or grey haired man ...it would have really done justice to a whole lot....
Everything you said. And yes to Demola continuing with the character. As for the awards, that better not be the case because awards don’t work like that. Sigh.
Spot on, you literally said everything i was thinking. The movie just didn't do it for me. I didn't connect with any of the characters or their motivations, story fell flat but it was visually stunning, they could have done so much more with it, also that part with land still belonging to the queen, rubbed me off the wrong way, why was it framed as though it's something to be celebrated.
You are officially my soul sister❤❤❤. This movie hurt me because it had EVERYTHING to be everything it could’ve been. I wonder if the filmmakers don’t think the audience worthy of them going all the way and tying up the knots. Have you watched Eyimofe and Juju Stories? Until Mami Wata comes on streaming, those are my movies to recommend with absolute confidence. As well as The Trade. A third.
@@pearlosibu ❤❤❤Obviously I'm binge watching your videos cuz I just saw your review on the trade, had fun with the movie it but the over exaggerated accents kinda threw me off, at one point the mistress had overdone it so much that she started to sound like she was from calabar, juju stories was definitely one for the books, made me so glad that a Nigerian director finally understood film making and had done something amazing with it, as for eyimofe and mamiwata, I haven't seen those but I will definitely check them out.
That part when he went without water was suppose to enhance the plot where he couldn't die... I actually disagree with a lot of your views ... The lungs thing all led to the fact that it was all meant for the character elijah
He…couldn’t die? It’s okay to disagree. I’d be very unhappy if everyone agreed with me on everything. If you state what you disagree on we can discuss the point. I’m always open to other perspectives. As long as they’re good filmmaking.
@@pearlosibu he couldn't die.... They said that in the movie ... And they also illustrated that.... Where he tried to shoot himself .... Where the drank a large amount of cleanox????... Those scenes were to make you understand that at that point he couldn't die ... Until he met his purpose which in this case was elijah
@@pearlosibu and where you said you couldn't feel the anger in older Timi's character is actually shocking to me ... The back and forth debacle of bible verses didn't prove it???... The tossing and breaking of plates didn't cut it for you??... And you not speaking on Eku Edewor's part of this remarkable directing is actually painful... Take time out to watch the "behind the scenes"
@@aghoghoisebe6436i thought you meant that as in in a physical sense. So, he was “not allowed to die”. This brings us back to what i said about the ideological framework. I cannot take that logic seriously. That basically he lived, suffered and continue to exist simply to be a donor. Sorry, I know spiritually-minded people would grasp that. I can’t. Moreso, because the film did not handle the faith-based aspect right. If it had, I’d have accepted this as far as the movie even if not as a real-life concept.
@@aghoghoisebe6436Eku Edewor was a producer. She was not listed as a director. I don’t need the BTS to analyze what is ON screen. I’m concerned with what is on screen, and a BTS will be distracting and appeal to sentimentality. It’s why you hear things like “you don’t know how hard it was to shoot that scene…” but that doesn’t matter in a critique. I do BTS after, just for knowledge but not as part of my analysis. And no; those expressions of anger were cartoonish. I said that. If you want to drill down, what business does a highly educated man have trading knowledge with a small town kid? That was silly. And, he’s had a butler for 30years. Was he abusive to his butler? This was not a fresh wound. That was lazy storytelling. It takes more to write deep wounds that have scabbed over. They went for surface writing and hyperbole. I think that was sad. I don’t mean to be mean (never that) but this movie was a huge waste of potential.
Nice movie but some things didn't just add up. It's 2060 but Anna's d3ath dat (d!ed) is Dec 1st 2063. How? Timi d!ed in June 2003. That means Elijah met Timi in January and they only stayed 6 months before Timi's demise. According to Anna, his salary in a year is barely enough to replace his bicycle... Is the salary that poor? Why such penny for someone that has a mission of starting a church? 35 years later 2003 Timi telling us he tried k!lling himself 40 years year ago. I was expecting the d3ath date to be at least 2008.
I hear you completely. It's funny, people think that really going into the faith aspect would narrow the audience, but I 100% disagree. Thank you for watching.
@@pearlosibu 100% fact. If the writers know what the faith (Good News/Gospel) is, it would connect to a wider audience than imagined. I've seen so many movies with the expectation that the true gospel will be shared. I'm always so disappointed. Some day it would happen. Someday.
@@phasesbyanderson5228 We are not on the same page with that 😊I'm only interested in that aspect in the way that it will flesh out and deepen the characters and the story overall. So, only so it goes beyond just being a plot device. Beyond that, not for me. I wouldn't be watching the movie if it ends up being preachy or wield religion as a didactic weapon or tool for moralism. I just want to see the characters themselves engage with their faith and conviction without I as the audience being told to do same.
You are wrong, the movie is a9/10 for me The suspense was there. This movie is everything, the cast was on point, everyone played their role perfectly well
That is your opinion, and it’s valid. I don’t disagree with you. I just agree with me 😀 This movie is far from everything. I didn’t mention suspense as it’s not a thriller.
Fair enough! Completely valid. I really wanted to like it. I can both see why people like it while also not much caring for it. I feel such a deep disappointed about how they took such a massive opportunity and budget and squandered it.
I need to know enough about films to critique them which I do. Of course, I’m still learning. As are these filmmakers. Sorry if your feelings got hurt here. We make far superior films.
There was one continuity error I noticed and no one seem to be talking about it. After Rev Timi's wife and daughter were killed, it was said in the narration that he stayed out there for nine days.

Great review.. and a lovely movie I must confess.
One question I asked, you mentioned it. Elijah's past wasn't discussed at all
Thank you! yes, that woul dhave really helped with their bond if they'd shared that and maybe Elijah talked about his own losses.
My view: "A lot of money spent - visually appealing but I do not think there was much of a story there. But then, that's me. 11 nominations no be beans"
You’re spot on
