O Cavaleiro do Rei

As a Yoruba man, i am proud to see our culture celebrated especially in a time when our culture appears to be slowly forgotten by its people. While not perfect, our culture must be celebrated as it forms the core of our identity. Our music, rituals, poetry and traditions were very well presented and articulated in this movie.

It is important that we never forget where we come from in order to appreciate our identity and how far we have come. As noted in this movie, the western world likes to label as barbaric, things that it does not understand. Our culture is gold

Definitely a must watch...

I belong to the first set of people that went to the cinema to watch Elesin Oba ahead of its Netflix release date and I have no regrets.

The movie's greatest strength is the performance of the actors who gave their best to interpreting the script in both words and expressions.

The following things also stood out for me which I enjoyed greatly: costume, cinematography, and sound especially the music - Brymo won my heart.

Shaffy Bello will also continue to be legendary when it comes to portraying a film character.

The movie is a classic that is best experienced rather than told so, forget what anyone says and see Elesin Oba for yourself then be the judge.

The first Nobel prize winner in Nigeria in literature , wole Soyinka have lots of master piece that deserved to be on screen. This is one of those classical depicted yoruba historic export to the world. Talking about the movie now odunlade did a good job which I beg to say there is room for improvement in is work and also the the movie as a whole biyi did an amazing work also which I think as room for improvement also, I think some people are having the mistake of comparing this work with kunle afolayan work which I think is nice and a good competition for the Nigerian movie industry. I definitely will recommend this.

Beautifully depicted, fantastic costumes and forceful characters. My skin was crawling out of embarrassment for my British ancestors. It had the feeling of a stage play, but with better space and scenery. The two Nigerian ladies' commentary the Prince's ball added some humour to what felt like a Shakespearian tragedy. The film makes Yoruba ideas about their King, honour and the cycle easy to sympathise with by placing them in counterpoint to the British authorities who are out of place, out of their depth, seem to be living in a bubble of weirdness where they pretend that they are not at war and dealing out swathes of death wherever they go.

Elesin Oba is a beauty, a work of art and a brilliant symphony of sound and visuals and sound! I wish Biyi Bandele was still around to keep creating awesome visuals to be proud of. The delivery by the cast is a delight. Need to see that movie again.

The scoring was pure magic for me - making for a balanced story telling; felt like wheels of a complex machinery all in perfect sync.

The visuals was a beauty - clear and well placed.

The singing - folks songs, was a thing missed and a delight.

The plot - unpredictable and balanced.

The cast did an awesome delivery - would have wanted more depth, a more elaborate remake into a mini-series, because it is something to be enjoyed thorough longer than the.
