Review by Tunde Aremu first published in the Daily Independent in 2005 The twins in Dangerous Twins played a very dangerous game that cost them and all others around them so much, even lives. In Hostages, the lovers suffered so much the viewer would wish to go in the film and rescue them. Owo-Blow’s lead character draws such emotion that it still rates as one of the easily remembered films from Nigeria. Madam Dearest is a film full of victims. But for the fact that the reality of our life is so morbid that we almost no longer see disturbed characters as morbid, many people would have found many of Tade Ogidan’s characters disquieting. Most of these characters often remind the viewers of their own vulnerability. His recent work, Madam Dearest, perhaps reflects this situation more than any of his previous works
