    Beautiful Story Telling
    Elesin Oba is a beauty, a work of art and a brilliant symphony of sound and visuals and sound! I wish Biyi Bandele was still around to keep creating awesome visuals to be proud of. The delivery by the cast is a delight. Need to see that movie again.

    The scoring was pure magic for me - making for a balanced story telling; felt like wheels of a complex machinery all in perfect sync.

    The visuals was a beauty - clear and well placed.

    The singing - folks songs, was a thing missed and a delight.

    The plot - unpredictable and balanced.

    The cast did an awesome delivery - would have wanted more depth, a more elaborate remake into a mini-series, because it is something to be enjoyed thorough longer than the.
