    a true tale of hardship

    Country Hard indeed illustrated how hard it is living in a society where the basic needs are not even met.

    Every story was genuine and we appreciated the morals taught

    DELICIOUS

    -Shout out to Kehinde Bankole! We saw the rage in her eyes and body language; she was fierce.

    -The film didn't shy away from showing how tough and rough life is for the middle and low classes

    -Storytelling was done in a captivating manner with each character's path intersecting another's

    -Cruel circumstances should never be a justification to resort to evil. Good will always overcome evil, nurturing good will bring peace to a troubled spirit. A powerful message

    BLAND

    -Overall performance was passable, not a natural display of emotions or tears.

    Some scenes, which could have engaged us, were hidden, e.g. The stabbing of the thief's hand

    Other scenes were a bit long. As a result, we were just mere observers without experiencing the journeys with the characters

    -Color grading, audio, and photography were sadly not consistent...
