Years of Tears

Excellent acting and story, but the production was horrible. I would buy more of these producers' movies if the sound were good (it has to be kept low because otherwise it screeches). The direction could've been improved for sure, as well as the editing. A whole scene of a car driving or someone walking is an awful waste of film, not to mention a waste of the viewer's time. One shouldn't have to fast-forward through scenes. The picture should've been clearer as well. The soundtrack wasn't quite what it should've been, and there was certain overuse of the music. It's as if Nigerian producers take every chance they get to play the same song. Even if the songs were different each time, it would still be an overuse of the music, thus reducing the quality of the entertainment. It's a pity. I'd give this one an 8, but the production and sloppy direction/editing were too profound.

No/low budget is no excuse for the unprofessionalism. We don't need gaudy special effects either. The effort put into that should be put into the sound and picture quality. Sometimes I couldn't understand what was being said because the sound was so awful. Turning it up isn't an option because it that distorts it too much.
