Kanayo, Bob Manuel, Nick Rhys Screenplay: Tunde Babalola Director: Kunle Afolayan October 1 is one movie that was highly anticipated by myself and am sure a whole lot of people. I actually thought the movie was going to be basically about how Nigeria gained her Independence, but the writer proved me wrong. Ouch! I cannot wait to get into the review part *rubbing palms* it’s going to be a joy ride, for the car is set in motion. The movie is going to be thorn into parts for you to know it’s a great, good or… Bad movie. Worth the hype or not! Review: A girl runs through a dark forest scared of something unknown… well I guess that was how … wrote the teaser of October 1, what can I say, but I loved it! I loved the suspense right from the very start of the movie. So at the very start of the movie, a red moon in a dark night, screams are hea...

“Am I ready? You belong here.”
Remarkable opening dialogue from the movie.
Review:
Telling us about a young local girl’s success story. Taking
into consideration that most movies of this nature tend to stray away from the
part of originality. ‘Queen of Katwe’ is a movie filled with refreshing
uncommon schematics and Originality.
“This is little man, his boda is broken, so he can only bump
into things. Beep, beep, beep. This is the queen. She is the most powerful of
all the pieces. What do they do? They kill each other. See, dead. This is your
President. If your President is trapped, nowhere to go… You say, checkmate.”
Another… “Coach calls it promoting, but I call it Queening. In chess, the small
one can become the big one. That is why I like it.” An amazing interpretation
of the chess game.
The directing and cinematography was almost impeccable! The actors interpretations of their characters were remarkable. It
is a great movie to watch with the entire family, that would drive a great
message to the hearts of it’s viewers. I applaud the makers of the movie for the depth in their work.
The movie is therefore rated 8/10.
