‘Olola Aginju’ is a curious exploration of ambition through the lens of a female monarch, Adewumi. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it allows for deep character contemplation. There’s this strange atmosphere that envelops the film, a blend of regal tension and the rawness of the wilderness. What caught my eye is how the practical effects, especially in the depiction of the transformed wilderness, create a stark contrast against the monarch's world. The themes of predestination and power are woven throughout, making you ponder the very nature of destiny. Performances are heartfelt, particularly that of the lead, who embodies both strength and vulnerability. It’s not typical royal drama fare, and that's what makes it stand out in the genre.
