Lets Talk Review

Blossom Chukwujekwu

Let me start by saying this; I am a HUGE fan of Blossom Chukwujekwu so you CANT imagine the excitement when I first saw the movie poster on his instagram page announcing the availablity of the movie on IrokoTV.com. Another movie Blossom features in.... #mythought....I better get in on the action.
      The movie was shot in both Ghana and Nigeria, it centers around two couples Sika Osei (Abena),  Mawuli Gavor (Kwame) and Blossom Chukwejkwu (Dimeji), Kiki Omeili (Teni); Abena an aspiring writer competes with her workaholic boyfriend Kwame while 1500 miles away from Ghana, Nigerian Couple Dimeji and Teni struggle to keep their pain,emotion due to their loss which eventually led them to an emotional divorce.
      I must say; the writer did a good job, writing two stories is easy but syncing the two to create a

Sika Osei

boy meets girls scenario (into one story) is totally a thumbs up for me. The two lives of couples so far apart came together to tell the story of  romance, sacrifice, marital struggle and love. The movie was simple which is something I have come to terms with when it comes to Lowladee. What started with a sad and heartbreaking picture turned out to be a decent happy picture.

Kiki Omeli

      I love the chemistry between Blossom and Sika, it takes a good actors to own up a character and make it theirs. They found each other when they lost control of their lives, they opened each others heart for soulful healing. Sika Osei is a beautiful actress, there is no over-acting like some actresses but she needs to stick to the scripts and not lose composure; unless off course its isn't her fault. Mawuli Gavor is also good and did well, facial expression and emotions are what he needs to working on moving forward.

Mawuli Gavor

      In conclusion, the seven cast movie is simple and dedicated to the lives of Sosoliso plane crash. It isn't a movie you watch and say WONDERFUL if you are one who loves drama and your own term of happy ending, personally I want more content filled movie from lowladee...so far I am not impressed but I am very much entertained.

Rating 6/10

FYI......The movie is available on Irokotv
