MY THOUGHTS

In this day and age where it appears like we’ve seen all there is to be seen as far as movies are concerned, it takes a lot for viewers to find something fresh and new about a movie. Kudos to those bringing us unique storylines through brilliant storytelling.

This movie not only has a long runtime that could have been shorter, it is equally predictable and a replicate of movies we’ve seen before.

The two lead roles (Timini and Sandra) nevertheless did amazing in their role interpretation. The plot, costume, makeup, props, and setting were also impressive. However, the sounds sometimes interfered with the audio.

I find that the poster and the title of the movie are somewhat misleading. Personally, when I saw the thumbnail, I immediately made up a plot where a lawyer is the defense counsel or prosecutor for/against her lover having to choose between “love or the law!”

This movie turned out to be a far cry from that. We only saw the lead actress later on working in a legal firm wearing mostly black and white and her dad using mighty vocabularies whilst speaking. We did not see any court proceedings or meetings of that nature as suggested in the poster.

Be that as it may, this was nonetheless interesting to watch. If you’re a person who likes easy movies that do not require any brainstorming or one that challenges your intellect, then here’s a film for you, otherwise you can spend your two hours in something more worth your time.

Thanks for stopping by.
