Every opportunity to see Emeka Nwagbaraocha on screen is always a golden opportunity 🥰 Good idea to tell a story without dialogues in order to break away from the norm.
Wallflower was a meaningful narrative told in the most soothing way
~Worth Watching~

Delicious
—Emeka Nwagbaraocha (playing the artist) and Amanda Afolabi (playing the waitress) were so cute and graceful in their performance; they added a gentle touch that we were blushing!
—Nice to see the artist’s drawings and paintings, they looked really stunning
—Being a silent movie, Wallflower made great use of instrumentals to guide the mood of each scene.
When the musical notes were played more rapidly and vigorously, we understood that the director was calling us to pay closer attention to certain parts. We appreciated the camera’s close shots that gave us more insight into the characters
—Thank you to the writers, Joel Adegboye and Seun Richards, for zooming in on autism in the simplest and most powerful form. The takeaway message of Wallflower was that “autism doesn’t have to define people, they are defined through hardwork and individuality”. Well said!

Bland
—We were a little confused about why the color grading was pale as opposed to colorful. Wallflower showcased a talented artist full of passion that vibrant colors would have had more effects on the film
