To that woman who cries herself to sleep at night due to feelings of neglect, betrayal and/or other marital issues…
To that woman who still hangs on to her marriage sincerely for the sake of her children…
To that woman who has endured months and years of silent treatments from her spouse…
…this movie is dedicated to you!
Bolaji Ogunmola, please take your flowers
Thanks for shedding light on a very sensitive part of what goes on in some marriages.
I remember sometime ago, Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede, during an interview, broke silence on the reason why she left her young marriage.
She narrated how easily her husband (now ex) could go weeks and months without talking to her; keeping malice, giving her cold shoulders, silent treatment, etc.
Honestly, not every woman can take it! It’s a kïller! Emotional abuse is one of the most dangerous forms of domestic violence.
Unlike physical abuse, nobody sees the scars, the secret tears, the pains in the heart, the emotional sufferings…etc!
Especially for a person who loves peace and a jolly good life, being treated like you don’t exist is high way to the gràve.
I know this film seems to stereotype men as being emotionally abüsive towards their women, but hey, these things happen and we can only address them one at a time.
Perhaps, Bolaji as the producer should have balanced things out by showing another couple in the film where the woman is the one giving the silent treatment cos some men also suffer similar issues in their homes! I have seen and I have heard.
People often can’t take the trash they dish. For instance, when Bimpe (Bolaji Ogunmola) resorted to giving her husband, Paul (Kachi Nnochiri) a taste of his own medicine, he appeared to have been tormented and tortured! He could hardly withstand it!
To think that some of these things are as a result of what these people picked up in their childhood as habits growing up!
We will keep reiterating the fact people should be mindful what they do around their kids. These children see, they watch, they listen and they learn!
Loved how Mrs. Esther (Chioma Nwosu) started to distract herself using her culinary skills all thanks to Bimpe for her help and social media technical know-how!
This movie highlights on the fact that people often believe the PDAs (public display of affection) from couples not knowing that beneath all the loved up paparazzis is sometimes just a charade; a sham of a marriage.
This was displayed in the case of Deacon George (Alex Ayalogu) and his wife Esther whom Bimpe and her husband had chosen to be their mentor upon getting married. Unbeknownst to them, the “perfect couple” were not bereft of turbulence and that their marriage was a very unhappy one.
This movie is absolutely interesting and the duration is encouraging albeit the audio quality was poor and the dialogue was mostly between Esther and Bimpe. Screen time for the men in the movie too was very much limited!
