Hey folks! You’re welcome to the review of Question Mark, a 2021 movie from P2O Motion Pictures. It was written and directed by Olumide Oki, who also wrote Enitaran (2019). It tells the story of Ola whose search for a means of livelihood corrodes the consciousness of his identity in Christ, and this makes him easy prey to forces who feel threatened by his existence.
In terms of its message, Question Mark is filled with profound truths packaged in catchy and rhythmic statements that would make you give exclamations of epiphany. The more I listen to this film’s dialogue, the more I see how important it is for us to be able to articulate correctly the answer to the question: “Who are you?” It engages quite some exposition to show us that out identity mustn’t be tied to anything in the physical world that will one day pass away, else, we’ll disappear with it. Exposition however, needs to be very carefully used, so that it doesn’t compromise the integrity of the plot itself.Ola thinks his identity is tied to his financial and employment status; this makes him spiritually dull, such that he doesn’t perceive when this has become a god to him. Unfortunately, there is an impending battle over his soul; I like the twist in the movie in that sense. All the while, the language of the marine spirits had seemed cryptic to me but it all came together at the end.

The persistence of these evil forces in Question Mark reminds me of an EVOM movie, Waiting for Time (2010), that shows that we’ll always need to stand firm and stay alert. The role of prayer here also cannot be overemphasized. I pray that the Lord will continue to uphold us to the very end.
The opening and closing credits songs are melodious and befitting for the movie. The choice of background music for the climax of this film though, made Question Mark feel flat, most likely because it was the same monotone tune that had been used in immediate previous scenes.
In conclusion, I really like the cliffhanger Question Mark puts at the end. It’s therefore my pleasure to say that on October 1, 2021, Question Mark 2 will be premiered in Ibadan, and I believe it will later come to YouTube. The producer has said that it’s a ninety-minute movie, which doubles its predecessor; I really look forward in anticipation of its release.
