In his directorial debut, Dr Sid tells a story that reflects the hierarchical nature that exists in several Nigerian families.

Cast: Obi Maduegbuna, Timini Egbuson, Binta Ayo Mogaji, Sandra Okunzuwa, Lateef Adedimeji, Demola Adedoyin, Charles Inojie, Hadiza D’ija Blell-Olo, Tope Olowoniyan, and Lilian Afegbai.The whole idea of producing a film, especially in Nigeria, is to showcase original content that viewers find relatable. However, for a movie like The Order of Things, the scriptwriter and producers chose to ditch a localised route and rely primarily on Western elements in the execution of the concept.

The sheer thought of exploring a concept via a camera lens that highlights the dynamic between brothers, providing an ultimatum for one of them, is brilliant.The iconic nature of the idea is watered down to the barest minimum, as the script offered almost zero value, the acting performances were average, and many scenes offered cringe-worthy moments that make viewers secretly wish the end credits would roll soon.Using flashbacks, we are introduced to two brothers, Demi and Tunde .

The attempts prove futile, as Demi’s mannerisms are a turnoff for most of the ladies he meets. Fortunately, a beautiful girl called Maria comes into his life. Before meeting Maria, Demi had established a romantic connection with Tope, a lady who possessed the same features as him.Demi’s connection with Tope comes to a halt when she shows up at his house and sees Maria there, announcing she is Demi’s fiancee.

When discussing the cinematography, one could sum it up as enjoyable because transition scenes were seamless, and each scene told a story in the context of the type of camera shot being applied.The scripting lacked a clear sense of direction and had poor dialogue. It felt like the writer had an end goal in mind but got distracted, so many scenes felt really clumsy. For example, there seems to be no strong logical reason Demi and Tunde kept confronting the matchmaker.
