Review of For Jojo

For Jojo (2022)
6/10
Wasted Potential??
12 July 2022
Friends cockblocking friends is something I know of and when I saw the synopsis, I didn't know how to feel about but I wanted to watch it. The topic at hand is portrayed almost on the nose, the matter being dealt with is usually very subtle but would be noticeable by an adult of the same past experience.

The film concentrated more on the act of cockblocking than the reason behind the actions. At times it will feel like it's spoon-feeding you the film rather than letting you figure out the film yourself.

I have to commend the idea though, as the person who came up with it had to face their own actions and realize what they were doing. An idea like this one definitely comes from experience.

Actors seemed to understand the film and script which resulted in them yielding a performance better than one you'd see in modern blockbuster films.

Had the film taken the cockblocking very seriously, this would've been a gem to it's intended audience.

Overall a good film with undeniable wasted potential.
