Very interesting concept developed by the Director. A large cast with a shadowing of a very sensitive subject. I have high respect for writers who wish to portray their beliefs in a unique way - there is quite frankly nothing wrong with it. The freedom we have to express our thoughts in unique ways is quite beautiful.
Koko, however, was an exception. The story was flat, dry, and repetitive and the picture had no depth or creative vision. A unique, difficult, and visual story like this should be portrayed in a more professional and artful way. The cinematography was no more than a high school film with no effort put in to correct framing and lighting. Extremely sloppy, to say the least. Audio sounded like something out of an elementary school film festival where kids record on their cell phones. So on the technical side of things - extremely lacking, hence taking away from the desire to even want to continue the film. For a film of it's budget, how could the importance of audio and camera elements not be important? Absolutely no thought put into how this film was crafted.
On the not-so-technical side of things... The acting and directing was far from good. No thought or reality put into any scene whatsoever. Talent had absolutely no true expression, though I blame the script for it's choppy nature. Some more eyes really needed to take a better look at this script and edit it. It was just an embarrassment to this poor talent.
The only thing this film had going for it was the potential. It is just an ill-portrayed politically-charged film to reassure conservatives. It's cute, yes, but not easy to watch. It missed its chance to be such an interesting and thought-provoking film, even with the politics attached. Something that could actually persuade audiences more meaningfully. I would not even call this a comedy, but more of a joke.
score 2/10
