Up North

Up North was such a delight, it was like a touristic trip of Bauchi😎

The film could have just been elevated with more solid acting and script. But overall, it was a feel-good watch

DELICIOUS

-Not many stories are shot in the North so it was a nice change to appreciate the Bauchi scenery. The cinematographers gave us a good slice of the city making us want to visit, for sure.

-Many thanks to the location managers for scouting such breathtaking areas like the animal parks, the canyons, and the festivals

-Up North sent a gentle message (without being preachy) concerning the need for girls to practice sports rather than consider it a taboo

-The score was awesome. That 'Gargajiya' song by Classiq was funky and full of vibes

BLAND

-Banky W and the rest of his cast played it safe. They were basically just repeating their lines without actually getting into the spirit of their characters

-The screenplay, sadly, did not have a powerful climax. Matter of fact, we could map out the end from the beginning

-Crisp sound engineering and more fluid editing were sadly missing...
