Gold Statue was indeed gold in the screenplay! An outstanding cast that sold the story for us. We laughed till we couldn’t breathe!
The crew, very very very very regrettably, sabotaged the production doing a great injustice to the hard-working actors 😖
~Worth Watching~

Delicious
—Gold Statue opened up to a super thrilling torture scene that rapidly caught our attention! The fluid storytelling really engaged us
—Um…Do we need to spend time talking about Gabriel Afolayan’s (playing Wale) superior acting skills???
The guy is flawless! And the supporting cast was well picked, they made us laugh to the point we had a severe migraine, seriously, it was too much laughter for one movie 🤣
The memorable people for us were the prisoner Banjul (Kunle Fawole), the jailer Mr. Manuel (Ali Baba), and Wale’s mom (Sola Sobowale)
—The yellow color palette throughout the film was an adequate representation of the golden theme
—Gold Statue was filled with over-hilarious dialogues and interesting characters that enriched the screenplay, e.g the fancy girls in the prison cell, Kapone with his weird deep voice, and the gangs in prison
—So, what lesson did we learn after all? Cleverness+Connection+Resilience=Success 😀

Bland
—A movie like Gold Statue requires great special and visual effects to transport us into the narrative. However, this was poorly executed coupled with a weak photography; the prison yard and underground area looked so unreal.
Such a big injustice to the hard-working cast
—How did the prisoners dig a tunnel in such a silent and discreet manner? 🤔
