Directed by Korede Azeez, “It Blooms in June” takes on the guise of a coming-of-age story that, while promising, seems to lack the necessary depth., the movie delves into the intricate dynamics between a father and daughter, skillfully portrayed by Femi Jacobs and Susan Pwajok. Together, they navigate the complexities of life following the loss of the family’s matriarch.
As Mira and her newfound friend, Ebisinde , embark on a journey towards independence, with new realities hitting them, what would happen to the daughter and father bond? Kiki shines as Joana, the elegant neighbour whose amiable demeanour contributes to the overall sense of good neighbourliness within the narrative. Her performance brings grace and charm to Joana, enhancing the film’s portrayal of community bonds and interpersonal relationships.
The major weakness of the movie lies not in the acting, as the cast, including Femi, Kiki, and Susan, performs admirably. Instead, it stems from the underexplored script, which fails to create room for character growth and essential sequences to foster genuine audience connection. However, the disposal of their relationship in favour of the kids needs to be more questionable. The film also suffers from pacing issues, with a hesitant beginning and a somewhat exciting ending.
