Review of Omen

Omen (2023)
8/10
A fascinating tale about folklore, rituals, culture, family, and failures of reconnection
2 May 2024
Baloji Tshiani's approach on it's unconventional narrative structure and style can be a turn off for majority of the views but Tshiani's direction on it's unconventional narrative, atmosphere, and style was an interesting and fascinating outlook on the themes about failures to reconnect, folklore, rituals and cultures with interesting colorful productions, atmospheres, camerawork, musical soundtrack, and character dynamics.

Kinshasa culture is well-explored throughout the narrative, and Tshiani's approach to the characters, themes, and concepts are quite fascinating to explore. With good performances and structures, even with it's short run-time, it treats us with lots of interesting and engaging aspects that I appreciate.
