Lady shares annoying scene in Straw movie

In her Facebook post, Hula shared a scene that made her angry while watching the movie.

She also wondered why she didn’t cry like other people who cried because of the emotional storyline.

She said:

“After every hype, I decided to watch the movie STRAW. Well, I was waiting for what will make me cry as I watched to the end without even getting emotional. Rather, I got very annoyed at the long drama at the bank. Something that would never happen in real life.

“I'm still wondering what is making people cry or very emotional about the movie! Am I the only one who didn't cry while watching the movie? Hope nothing is wrong with me?”

In the comments, she added:

“The movie is like a child's play. So unrealistic. Should I say the movie is overhyped! I didn't even expect the movie to end yet because I was yet to get to the part that would make me emotional. But it ended. Just like that. As a movie lover, I gat to rush to my moviebox app to search and watch after I saw Ini Edo's post hyping the movie and giving all the flowers in world.”

A woman, Blessing Ozegbe, who watched the movie, shared her review with Legit.ng.

She said:

"I wasn't even having plans of watching any movie, but I was seeing reviews and I had to just take out one night to watch it. I've watched it to like almost half of the movie before I even realised that I've been crying, and I was like, so this is what they were talking about.

"The movie was very engaging,g and the plot twist at the end was what actually blew my mind. It's a very good movie. It's a nice movie. I'll rate it a 9 out of 10. It's the type of movie that keeps you glued to your screen until you finish it, and there's so much, so many emotional things going on in the movie."
