Featured review
I anticipated to watch Kagiso's other movie LOSING LERATO &wheb I did, I discovered it lacked in depth & pacing
The movie was boring & felt long .&
Now again THIS project lacks the same thing, I don't know if it's his trademark or he is blind to see it.
The idea behind the story is catchy & the set up visuals are top notch But coz there isn't depth, the viewer hardly cares about any character coz there is no buildup, the story rushes to create the tragedy of the movie by sacrificing depth & hence the pacing becomes mediocre.
We jump from scene to scene affecting the entire movie pacing coz one min she is on point A then next point C & the next point D There is zero transition from one scene to the next, which makes it feel like we watching cuts that are easy to join & make up run time Like okay Thando has problems & the problem will affect her & she triumphs end of story.
You don't get to see Thando struggle with emotions, how her school crush came about & what type of a friend her bestie is.
We are tossed into the whole thing & only tricked to have remorse for her coz they spilt milk on her or perhaps because she doesn't smile .
We don't even get to know how the problem is, we just see it fly into action & boom well here is the bad guy
Next scene people !!
Ai im.dissapointed truly I wanna like Kagisos work but ai this is so boring can't even fall asleep, this movie should be forwarded to intelligence to use for torturing purposes coz haikhona.
