The movie raises topics such as domestic violence as Moyeni's father (Funsho Adeolu) was a serial wife beat his wife(Fathia Balogun),child trafficking by Doctor Koko(Saheed Balogun) who ran a baby factory.The acting was also okay as the lead actor played her role well.There was also a bit of suspense eg when Deolu's friends who were police officers came i thought they had come to arrest Moyeni but it was on a neutral ground.The evils of some domestic servant especially housemaids was brought to light.
Some parts in the language of the dialogue of the movie didn't go down well with me .when someone is speaking a certain a language to you and you reply in another.The mixture of Yoruba and English language being used simultaneously in movies is now becoming a trend but it gets to a point that the effect becomes ugly.for instance, Christine the human rights lawyer who also is Yeni's lawyer (Juliet Ibrahim) asks her questions in English and she replies in Yoruba one will wonder how the communication flowed very well ,we didn't know the lawyer understood English till she spoke a line of Yoruba when she questioned one of the girls from the baby factory. This made the court scene even though looks okay could be confusing because that kind of mixture of languages can never happen,an interpreter will be needed and this ugly trend was caused by the inconsistency of the language used in the movie.The news casting could have been left at Yoruba alone,the newscaster for the English version was not nice!I also didn't really see the relevance of the DPO scene it didn't do any good to the movie per se .The subtitling would have been perfect till 'counsel' was spent 'council'
As expected Omoyeni's plea of insanity availed her and so she was sent to neuropsychatric home rather than jail.
The movie is one you will enjoy on the long run .
It is Produced by Mercy Aigbe Gentry and directed by Lancelot Odua Imaseun
