women's resilience at best

What a heartbreaking story! 1929 told us about an event we weren't even aware of and it was moving to see the women's resilience during the colonial era. Well done

DELICIOUS

-Clapping ovation for Ireti Doyle and Sola Sobowale for an impeccable performance!

All the female cast were fierce, zealous, determined, courageous, but also weak. They worked in perfect collaboration with each other.

-We loved the brown color grading representing the soil/land and endurance, themes highlighted in the movie

-1929 taught us a powerful history that we will remember forever.

-Costume and hair designs were beautifully executed giving us an idea of the style back then

BLAND

-Dubbing of the District Officer's voice was a little inadequate

-The score and soundtracks were not smoothly edited as they were introduced and cut abruptly

-One of the most essential parts we needed to see was the killings in order to stir our feelings but the lack of it made the movie a bit unreal.
