Review- Idahosa Trails (2017)

Idahosa Trails is a faith based film about an American journalist, Thomas Book (David Schifter) who set out to interview the deceased preacher Benson Idahosa in Benin City, Nigeria. This journey leads him to a few discoveries about himself and the archbishop. I was actually looking forward to seeing Idahosa Trails mostly because it had to do with Benin City but it fell flat in more ways than one and I wish I never saw it. It was boring and filled with so many unnecessary scenes that lasted longer that they were supposed to. I didn't like the cast and I don't think David Schifter was the right person for this role. role. It also felt like Kunle Idowu was doing too much. I love Osas Ajibade but there was something really off about her acting because she looked really stiff. It seemed like she was counting her words.

I liked the fact that they used a lot of Benin songs in the soundtrack but the film still felt really dull. I kept looking at my watch because I couldn't wait to leave the theater. Although, I'll commend director, Stanlee Orjk 

for interviewing the real people that experienced the miracles. That must have taken a lot of time and resources. I really wanted to like Idahosa Trails, by unfortunately I didn't.
