Movie critics have given the recently released film “Orisa,” starring renowned Nollywood actor Odunlade Adekola, a variety of ratings.
While complimenting the overall production and highlighting the film’s positive aspects, several reviewers have noted plot holes that need to be filled.
Orisa is a terrific movie that is worth viewing, but much more might have been better, especially with the storyline, said one of the well-known movie critics, Kazeem Adegboyega. The cherry on top for Orisa was the acting.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS:
– Contrary to the picture the title Orisa gave , the movie wasn’t full of unnecessary incantations and forced indigenous nuances (those things were present, but there weren’t all over the place)✅
– I think the relationship between komokomo and the king is a very weak defense to whatever it is komokomo was doing. The writer could honestly have thought of something better.
– That part about the king madness still marvels me, how could a little force run the king mad ? It sounds weird in the Yoruba culture. Anyway, let’s continue.
WRITER & DIRECTOR:
– I must commend how the writer beautifully infused comic scenes and dialogues in the middle of a seemingly tragic story. Woli Agba was interesting to watch, and I sort of hoped to see him more in the movie, but the little time I did was worth it.
– The directors did a good job with both the actors and the scenery as a whole. It gave me the indigenous vibe I expected to see. But, Komokomo saying “mi o fe soro” became irritating at some point. Just felt like some forced rhymes, but then, its forgiveable
RATING:
Every actor, including the ones who only appeared in a few things, gave it their all. If there’s something strong that held the movie down from start to finish, it would be the acting.
7/10 #Rating 🤛✅”
