This is African amateur writer, director and editor

This is African amateur writer, director and editor Akinyemi Sebastian Akinropo's first ever dabble in filmmaking, and it really does show. The "based on a true story" is a very good and interesting story that needed to be told, but the execution of the storytelling was awful. It's started fairly decent, but Akinropo's editing was horrible with scenes dropping in out of nowhere and cutting out too soon. I call it "blender editing". The pacing was fairly decent for the length of the screenplay, but the 100 min runtime was too long for the story being told. There were tons of plot and technical issues and many irregularities with the fluidity of the screenplay. This could have easily, and should have been, trimmed down to 80-85 mins tops. The directing wasn't that bad for a first-timer, although some scenes were really badly directed and filmed that seemed 1980's dad-on-the-camcorder quality. The acting was actually not bad at all - for amateur actors that also had no direction from Akinropo. The sound was bad, probably from the lack of boom mics. The score and cinematography were adequate and the set location and landscape was great. Filmmakers have to start somewhere, right, but I wish Akinropo had at least ran his script by a seasoned writer for some edits, and/or and experienced editor. That could've made this film much better. You can basically fast-fwd some scenes and not miss a thing. The true story needed to be told, and I'm glad it was, but wish it was told better.

original script, weak production

Coming From Insanity was an original script, well-told...the production and acting, sorrowfully, didn't transport us on a journey

DELICIOUS

-Always a pleasure to have an out-of-the-box script. The storytelling was very lucid, we were steadily invited into Kossi's world and grasped the money-making craft. Characters were progressively introduced leading to a good climax.

-Gabriel Afolayan is a diamond! Even an oscar would not be befitting of his art. He immersed himself in the role of Kossi that we even forgot he's Nigerian in real life ? His poise throughout the film was spectacular

-Costume designers should be felicitated for accentuating the characters making a big difference

BLAND

-The image and sound qualities suffered extremely: there were moments we could barely hear the actors and the images were blurry

-The Wale Ojo-Sharon Ooja duo impeded the storytelling. Mainly due to their very weak acting, it was disappointing

-Coming From Insanity opened up with some data about child trafficking making us think that the film was going to be centered on this issue, but it wasn't

-Logic was a little off, e.g. We witnessed some characters using the latest smartphones and others using the Whatsapp application when the year was just 2010?
