Taste

About This Movie

Taste is an intriguing blend of melancholy and hope. It explores the lives of Bassley, a Nigerian footballer sidelined by injury, and four women who find themselves lost in the mundanity of their everyday existence. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the audience to settle into the characters’ emotional landscapes. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia, as they escape to an old house, creating a microcosm that feels both fragile and empowering. The performances are heartfelt, particularly in how they navigate despair and the yearning for connection. There’s something distinctly raw about the film's production choices, with practical effects that ground the narrative in a kind of gritty realism. It’s a film about finding solace in shared experiences, and that’s what makes it resonate.
