Delicious
—Can we clap for the production designer? From the poster to the movie, the pink color was well maintained and accentuated to show the female-centric theme👏
—A remarkable harmony among the Sugar sisters, honestly, you’d think they were biologically related in real life.
Each one added her own special touch: Suzy, the eldest, was the serious one looking after the family; Shola, the middle child, had outrageous ambitions of living it large; Bola, the youngest, was a social media sensation in her own eyes. Sublime actresses in action!
Anikulapo (the mystic business mogul), though appearing briefly in the film, was intimidatinggggg with his ‘powers’!
—Fantastic job executed by the costume, make-up, and set design teams. Quality work in every scene
—The entire art, score, and location designs turned Sugar Rush into a well-crafted production, nothing to criticize
—Very hilarious dialogues, way too many laughing moments that we actually needed to pause in between to avoid choking 😅
Sugar Rush beautifully highlighted the common people’s hustle to meet their basic needs of health, security, and housing in a society where the rich become richer and the poor poorer
—Hats off to the visual effects team
Bland
—Cinematography could have been more dramatic, notably during the chasing and shooting scenes; camera movements had too many still shots
—The EFCC agents were a bit uninteresting: officer Dan (Mawuli Gavor) was under-acting while officer Obum (William Uchemba) was over-acting
—Minor scenes lacked realism and it was a little distracting seeing body mics on the actors’ backs 🙁
