The brain behind the reins of EbonyLife studios, Mo Abudu has responded to the negative criticism trailing her Elesin Oba: The King’s Horseman as directed by the late Biyi Bandele.
Produced by Mo Abudu and set in the Oyo Empire, Elesin Oba is the story of a King’s horseman who must commit ritual suicide to follow his deceased king into the afterlife.
Since its release on Netflix , many film lovers and enthusiasts have taken their time to make comments on the film and many of them have not been good.
In response to a post by Deyemi Okanlawon, Mo Abudu praised the actor while taking a huge swipe at the critics of the movie.
“It Will always be a reference point in moving pictures as it’s the first time that this play has been done as a feature film. It will go over the heads of some, because they are “uneducated” about this work. But I am glad to see that many of your followers are exposed to understanding the concepts and thematics displayed in our film. It truly is a work of art”
Asides Mo, some of the cast of Elesin Oba have also taken to social media to tackle the people who don’t like the film. In a tweet, Deyemi describes them as people who lack art appreciation
