Review of Donadona

Donadona (2022)
7/10
Connections Over Talent
4 August 2023
The prime objective of cinema is telling a story and entertaining the viewers. This movie succeeds in storytelling. The plot is simple yet profound; we live in a world where real artists are misunderstood and often overlooked unless they immerse themselves in the busy world of social media and advertising.

The central character is frustrated that film producers today expect actors to shout intensely. He believes actors should reveal the nuanced aspects of their character and yelling to the camera is pointless. Those with more money, connections and industry acquaintances have an advantage according to the protagonist. Talent goes unnoticed. This is a film that sheds light on the struggles of lesser-known artists with a modest budget and in a very simplistic manner.

The filmmakers deserve praise for their effort and I look forward to their future projects. In summary, while low budget, the movie delivers a thoughtful story that shines a light on an important issue.
