Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
Important story told
Likes:
Cinematography. Every frame was beautiful especially the one in the final scene.
Acting: While Gladstone and of course di Caprio were impressive, De Niro was the star.
Dialogue and script: I read the book and I'm impressed with what Eric Roth made out it.
Soundtrack: this was another positive.
Epilogue: I was impressed with this too.
Dislikes:
I feel the story should have centred around Mollie. At least that is the way book by David Grann was written. Rather it was centred around Ernest Buckhart. Lily Gladstone should have been the main star of this movie.
I also felt it didn't express the tragedy of the story well enough.
Ijogbon (2023)
One of Kunle Afolayan's best movies
Positives :
Cinematography. This movie had some many beautiful shots. I particularly liked the shooting of the chaotic scenes.
Acting. The kids did really well. But I was most impressed with the Preacher's kids performance.
Story: the story was proper Nigerian and you can tell what values or advice the director was trying to promote.
Pacing: Kunle's movies usually suffer from poor pacing but this was an exception.
Negatives:
Holes in the plot. For instance, how did the kids figure out the motive of the diamond owners so quickly.
Some cringeworthy moments especially with the Asian man.
In all, I'd say this is one movie I enjoyed.
