Under Matthew Panepinto’s direction, ‘Friendly’ is highly captivating from the offset. Outstanding aerial cinematography will allure viewers into the intense action that follows. Timi Odunjo’s performance as Charles is highly commendable – his ability to showcase fragility and fear is awe-inspiring. Visually, the film is carefully constructed with terrific costume design, locations and high-quality cinematography. The narrative is equally compelling. Sound, post-production and music is of a professional standard. A riveting watch. Highly recommended.
