My Review for the movie "Sista'"
A movie can appeal to you emotionally and still make sense. That's the movie "Sista"
Real, practical, and to sum it up in one word - "Solid".
I have always thought that we can make movies that appeal to emotions in Nigeria without having to 'rub our heads' with scenes of unrealistic suffering and unnecessary sad tunes😩.
Sista' brought this to life.
I don't want to dig deep into the camera angles in this movie because what was that?.
It just felt like everything told a story.
Yes, the movie started somewhat slow, you'd have to be a person that can be patient to savour the taste of movies like food, not to jump out of this one easily or get to that place where you'll say 'Oya na, get to the point already, what's it with the flash back scenes and cleaner everywhere? " 🤣
But this movie is gold.
Tells us so much; the value of family, the importance of forgiveness, marrying right, etc.
Fola was so lucky with women. Phew!
Did anyone think about how this would have flipped if Tiwa wasn't Fola's wife, and so great a person she put herself aside, watched her husband act, gave her input on his actions and helped him make right decisions?
"Your wife is your help meet" Bible has been shouting, na here.😂
You dun gerrit?
Catch your sub 😩
I will give this movie an 8.
I can't even decide whose acting's best, everyone seemed to get it right, even the kids.
I'll use this review to celebrate women like Tiwa, women like Vicky, Women like Jem and every woman out there choosing her higher self.
Choosing to honour God, choosing family.
Fola's decisions may seem like decisions that would have been easy to make, until we come face to face with our demons.
Face to face with a choice of what looks like mediocre compared to the excellent thoughts we have.
We all can be there.
However, it still does not justify Fola's actions.
No excuse is good enough to back off from family, and no, do not choose the easy way.
If you have wronged someone, make effort to get them to forgive you. If it takes time, please be patient and put the effort.
Don't give up, especially when the effect of your actions may not cause things to even out so easily like Fola and Vicky.
To another great movie Biodun Stephen.🥂
It is always how you put your movies out piece by piece and then shake it up so vigorously somewhere down the line for me.
Deciding whether or not to see this movie?
I recommend.
