The story line is very commercial (Simple, to the point and predictable)
Pros:
1. Acceptable picture quality
2. Good actors
3. A "Bridge" film between Hollywood and Nollywood. It can be termed a British film.
Cons:
1. Some scenes are pivotal in a film. These scenes will have to be well thought out . In this moviethe first kiss was average, but the "Reconciliation kiss" scene when Afua comes back from Ghana is atrocious. The staging in a cramped living room is a travesty. That's the highlight of the movie, the sound track and the scenery should be on point. That was disappointing.
2. Not showing Afua in Ghana was a major let-down. It was simply a case of dressing an apartment here in the UK and make it look like Ghana. That was a gaping hole in the movie
SUMMARY
In fairness, the story had a beginning , middle and an end. The writer resisted the temptation to complicate issues (Creativity in simplicity). The story however will not have as much impact on the audience because Afua's betrayal was a "Misunderstanding" not a heart wrenching . The aggrieved party was actually Afua because her Italian boyfriend did not believe her. But in a typical society's approach to relationship, as long as the man is ready to get married to you "All is forgiven".
Kudos to the production team.
