i think genetically i was expecting a twist ending - so i was a little whelmed when the ending was like, the ending.
i did nod off somewhere in the middle, those 2 hard solos at the beach earlier caught up with me? lol.
overall, a solid directorial debut.. some good stuff going on here, the cinematography was pretty neat - mirror stuff always getting me a bit eyeball emoji.
great to see dakota back -- ripley was incredible if you haven't seen!!!
lol i was just thinking of the simpsons planet of the apes bit...

anyway, singing apes has always been a guaranteed cash-cow - i wonder if this was the inspo?
maybe a little heavy on the addict / drugs are bad plot - but was genuinely thrilled and did a rewind of that main opening number - WOW.
good job melbourne! x
felt quite sick in some parts, maybe i’m light sensitive? the sound design and music are pretty lit - can’t wait to find the spotify playlist for this one. hearing ROMY play in the astor was a vibe too.
story wise - thank GOD i don’t know people like this and i am so grateful, the idea of partying this much is so gross and like, made me not wanna drink again.
authentically shot and designed - the small details…
wish this film had something more to say other than being gay is not okay in nigeria.
love the representation but it felt a little bland for me and even though it was juuuuust around 90 minutes i found myself looking at my watch wondering how much longer it would be until i get to enjoy a bowl of pho.
the film also used some VERRRRY dramatic musical cues which just cheapened the whole tone, turning what was meant to…
