Movie Review - With Difficulty Comes Ease (Uzoamaka Aniunoh, Caleb Richards, Ummi Baba-Ahmed) 

I know you’d like this one 😅 Yeah, that music was wild.

Such a beautiful, thoughtful and generous comment. Thank you! I agree with you on the stoicism; I did even account for it - something about suffering giving you a hard edge. For film, though, I think it was hard to watch such relentless agony with nary a break or breather. And was a missed opportunity for catharsis (the kind you feel when someone who never cries cries or someone who never laughs laughs. It's such a powerful tool in storytelling because it makes that thing the character never does precious and is an easy way to express the extent of the the new emotion if it forces them out of established character. It can even be someone speaking a language they never speak (if you ever watched the TV series on AM Showcase Battleground; Adaora Bhadus abandoned her epic bougie and spoke Igbo for the first time ever when she learned what he husband had been up to. I resort to my native language whenever words fail me, especially with grief. That is, for instance, why when Kimiko speaks in the finale of The Boys, people lost their shit). I feel like here, when her smile did come after the time jump, it had no real impact; the moment had passed. I think I'm always looking for how a story could have been better, especially with.a small tweak. I'm an "emotion-seeker" as far as film LOL. BTW in this movie, a complete breakdown would have achieved a similar result. Because tears are also cathartic. She was just heavy-heavy-heavy. That said, great film! So glad you like it. I saw. 3 star rating on Prime and was like this is why we can't have nice things. Yes, Korede did very well. As well as with IT BLOOMS IN JUNE. Have you seen it?

@@pearlosibu , I haven't but will definitely look for it at your mention. Yeah, I agree with what you want and I'll have to unstall from finishing off The Boys now 😀
