"Makama’s vivacious sense of humour brings an invigorating gonzo style to The Lost Okoroshi’s incongruous mash-up of cultural influence, its use pop music, vibrant colours and cinematic visual effects."
"The Lost Okoroshi takes audiences on a trippy ride into the clash between traditional and contemporary cultures in modern day Lagos...A cool soundtrack veers from electronic mood music to contemporary Afrobeat, adding depth to the surreal feel of the film....Much of the humor comes from Makama's finely developed sense of the ridiculous, along with a sly satire, with the realistic elements to add the darker edge."
"Relentlessly surprising, The Lost Okoroshi smashes together bits of B-movie, slapstick, mumblecore, fable and surrealism in stark vignettes enlivened by a funky, synth-heavy soundtrack. Makama’s schizophrenic style is designed to provoke as much as to entertain. But at the heart of his madcap caper is a classic theme of postcolonial cinema: the battle between tradition and capitalist modernity, whose victims — society’s most vulnerable — are served neither by earthly powers nor gods."
