Colours of Hibiscus

About This Movie

Colours of Hibiscus dives into the eerie existence of Joba, a woman tangled in the web of her own loneliness. The film’s atmosphere is thick with tension, embodying a creeping sense of dread that feels palpable. The pacing, sometimes slow, allows the viewer to really sink into Joba’s world and her struggles with love and the shadows of death that seem to follow her. There’s this unsettling ambiguity around her character - are the deaths surrounding her a result of her own actions, or is there something more insidious at play? The practical effects, while not overly flashy, enhance the film’s haunting aura. Performances are raw, especially from the lead, who captures Joba's turmoil in a way that feels both tragic and compelling. It’s a layered narrative that leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
