My favorite scene in the movie, lol
Whoop, it’ Friday and i have got a beautiful movie for you today – It’s titled ‘Birthmark’.
The script was written by Biodun Stephen Oladigbo, Produced by Mary Njoku and directed by Moses Inwang (Sneeze).
Story:
A privileged 20 year old young man (Joshua Richards) becomes obsessed with his 35 year old former nanny (Ini Edo), the woman
who practically raised him since he was a baby.
She continuously
rebuffs his advances but before long it all becomes too much to bear.
Cast: Joshua Richards, Ini Edo, Bimbo Manuel, Femi Jacobs.
What I loved about the movie:
The production was good, lightning was really good too, background music was great!
The storyline was fantastic, original, romantic (very romantic) and i loved it.
Oh, the suspense was nice.
While seeing the movie on Iroko TV with my sister, we were glued till the very end.
“What’s
going to happen, would Ini Edo eventually succumb to the young man’s
advances…” we wondered, as a matter of fact, we were seriously rooting
for an affair between them because their chemistry was totally on
point, lol.
The movie climax was crazy and we were
left mouth opened at the end, like seriously, what, haba warridis??? It
was totally unexpected.
Aye to the cast.
All of them acted brilliantly, they acted reasonably well.
From
Bimbo Manuel who played the happy go Yoruba dad to Joshua Richards, the
new kid…the dude is so handsome and i loved the way he gently picked
his words all through the movie, and also Ini Edo, bravo, the sexy
Nanny…she was ah-mazing, she interpreted her role well…her laughter, tears, everything was just so real!
And then the chemistry between them (Ini and Josh) was on point.
I
particularly loved the scene were they had a beautiful dance, and many
other scenes of them, their love story was weird but pleasant to watch,
lol.
Femi Jacobs was fantastic too.
What I didn’t like
In as much as I loved this movie, it was kinda weird.
Ini Edo (the Nanny) was leading him on, yet giving him a No when he started pestering her for a relationship.
You
let a young man peck you, hold you anywhere, sleep in your bed, call
him all the time and yet claim you don’t love him enough to date him, oh
please!
The producers could have done a better job of drawing the line. This was borderline
incestuous.
And then the ending was annoying!
The
movie was so good until it ended so suddenly, Moses Inwang gotta do
better with his movie endings…this was same issue i had with his movie
‘TORN’.
Why
would such a good movie end like this? Did they run out of filming
tape???? Lol, my sister even took it personal, she didn’t stop hissing.
And
finally, the lady that played the 14 year old younger form of Ini Edo
looked way matured than 14, haba, they should have gotten someone
younger to play the role.
Watch the movie trailer (HERE).
I
am presently watching Alani Pamolekun, a Yoruba movie which features
Odunlade Adekola, i hear it has about four parts but i am just starting
out and i really hop it’s worth my time. Have you guys seen it? Do you
think I should go on or it’s just a waste of time? Thank you!
