Using very little dialogue, 'Oga John' made its heartbreaking message heard loud and clear
DELICIOUS
-'Oga John' successfully applied the 'less is more' approach (3 actors, minor lines, one color palette, minimum background music, and 2 locations) to draw focus on the gravity of its theme
-Oje Ojeaga was cunning to omit long dialogues so we could pay close attention to the littlest details; we actually had to re-watch the film to better appreciate the narrative
-Congratulations to the art direction team for designing the shop in a way that set a tense atmosphere for the film
-You cannot go wrong with oga John's big piercing eyes😄 He didn't say much yet his look made us sooo uncomfortable. We were wondering the entire time whether he was a friend or foe.

BLAND
-Cinematography played it safe; 'Oga John' could have benefited from more dramatic movements of the camera to show the intensity of the scenes as well as Alero's emotions.
