MOVIE REVIEW: “Bottled Up,” Produced By Victory Drama Group
Reviewed By Ajibare Abioye
Hey folks! You’re welcome to the review of Bottled Up, from Victory Drama Group. It is a film that contains great wisdom for ministers of the gospel, particularly men, in their relations with female counselees. Jide Ogunmilade plays the role of Kunle, who is not sensitive enough to apply the breaks on a relationship fast displaying impropriety till it’s rather too late.
“Bottled Up” makes it clear in its 44-minute runtime that the boundaries that come with relating with those one ministers to are not to hinder the work, but to ensure that the hedge of fire God has placed around godly marriages does not get broken. I see it as: ministry should not override the machinery of marriage, but should rather respect it. If there is one form of caution or the other from one’s spouse, the least you could do is to consider it carefully. After all, the injunction in the scriptures for believers to be watchful does not exclude men of God.
I like how Bottled Up breaks the gospel films cliché of having male pastors intervene in marital issues. Pastor Dorcas here is effectively played by Evang. Feyi Adepoju, demonstrating a calm and reassuring presence. She laid emphasis on the need for not just prayers, but for patience in dealing with a misbehaving spouse. The film portrays the role of an authority figure over Christian marriages, which makes for accountability and should not be seen as a third-party influence. When Kunle begins to defy that authority, we see that his actions begin to defy logic. The hardness of his heart zones God’s voice out and he becomes a prey for slithering snakes and ravenous wolves.
Thankfully, the church family comes to the rescue and God is able to do what He alone can do in the lives of men – the pleasant sight of deliverance.
Alright, we’ve come to the end of this review. Bottled Up will surely bless you, especially if you serve God by ministering to people in some capacity.
