Coincidence or just perfect timing? It is fascinating how artistic expressions sometimes mirror the current state of the world. From geopolitical to what is happening with oil in our country, art has an uncanny way of reflecting real life. This film’s greatest strength and weakness is offering a sharp examination of these issues, especially during the first 30 minutes, before the story takes a turn.
Those early moments in the film give an exaggerated look at the unhinged nature of politicians, exaggerated yes, but true. And no, I am not talking about Kenyan politicians only.
Concepts such as narrative control, spinning stories, and managing public perception are touched on but from an exaggerated comic angle, but it’s in the performances from the actor that will make you think of the real world.
