It was a 2hours movie that I rather shouldn't call entertainment but a moment of empowerment. If I was having doubts, my conviction got better... I was able to connect with the movie because obviously, I have experienced a touch of God before.. . . . I say "yes" again to God's call.	positive
It almost accurately portrayed the abuses a lot female students face in Nigerian universities and west Africa at large	positive

The movie authentically gives us the feel of the eighties, up to how parties were organized, the talk about bleaching, the clothes, and the generous use of damask and adire.	positive
It's a well paced movie, filled with properly fleshed out characters operating in a plot structure that doesn't fall apart.

A fantastic movie!!! Wow wow wow. Nollywood has ascended.	positive
Brilliant. . . . Good story line that requires so much attention. But overall, the movie is well done.	positive
Great Movie from Nollywood.. . . . Lionheart wasn't just written for the sake of it. It portrayed so many things going on in Nigeria that it'll take one with in-depth and an open mind to see through the movie.	positive
This is by far the best production from nollywood! It looks more like an African American film. The acting is top notch and to find out it is the lead actresses first film, thumbs up.	positive
Something like a Shakespearean comedy, full of highly amusing, sharply drawn characters and offering wicked insight into how identity is shaped by city living and immigrant culture clash.	positive
Nigerians in Brooklyn. . . . This is an amazing film, suspenseful, thoughtful, and colorful.	positive
Temi Otedola did amazing job!	positive
Thank you for a perfect example of how HE works in our lives: This movie is a gut-wrencher, reminding us how He works through imperfect, repentant people who are only called to obey Him. He does the rest. He is faithful to complete what He has started. What a GOD honoring movie, showing the Triune in goodness and glory and power. Thank you.	positive
Stroyline was beautiful. . . . The plot twist was everything. Suspense filled. Gripping and interesting. Touched a lot on the importance of communication in relationships. I'll watch it over and over again.	positive
I love this film! I've watched it several times. I hope another one is in the works	positive
A Modern Nigerian Classic. . . . . . Nollywood truly has a political/religious/tribal gem here for those who seek to broaden their perceptions of the whys of the major ills of the world & in this case a small community in Nigeria - r so pervasive today.. . . . Soul comes to this physical reality for experiences & this film delivers a ton of them❤	positive
Fun to watch especially if u understand the Igbo language... But in general it's a good and interesting movie..	positive
This movie feels like a mish mash of under-developed ideas with a half hearted romance thrown in. It is not sure if it wants to be a comedy or a satire.	positive
Genevieve Nnaji proves yet again while she's still the best Nollywood actress of all time with her directing debut. we can only say more grease	positive
A film which captured a nation's hope for better cinema. . . . One can only wish that other Nigerian filmmakers will build on this same ground for a much brighter Nigerian film future.	positive
Absolutely sensational. . . . This made me feel proud to be Nigerian. Storyline aside, the performances from each character wEré phenomenal and really captured my attention.	positive
Searching for a soundtrack & review. . . . There'se a soundtrack at the end of the movie. On the background. It contains no words, it's more a melody. I'm trying to find the name of it.. . . . Beside that, great movie, really slow paced. Acting is realistic. No absurb emotions or anything like that. The conversations, the choosen words, the evens, the chemistry. It looks natural like you're watching a real situation. There's alot of silent moments and stuff like that. So you either like this type of movies, or you don't	positive
my number one nigeria sci fi best movie. . I love the movie, it falls into my favorite type which i am satisfy off, looking forward for nigeria to bring more to screen.. . . . And my advice for us Nigerian is to support this movie to encourage them to bring and produce more better movies of our choice for us to watch.	positive
Kemi Adetiba's King of Boys is exceptional. From the selection of cast to the well executed story line, this movie is nothing short of excellent. The thrill, plot twists, humor, unpredictability are unmatched.	positive
Perfection. . . . Someone should please help me find a mistake in this movie because I have watched it four times and still I can't find one. Everything about the movie was perfect. The movie is an original.	positive
This film is is a true story and is absolutely brilliant and moving.	positive
A Refreshing Nigerian Series. . . . Such a refreshing Nigerian series to watch without the awful music playing throughout the movie. However. I don't like that Netflix just carried Season 1, got me piqued and their is no season 2 to be found.	positive
If it were food I would say mouth watering. . . . The film citation is a necessity, I do not see where it would ever run out of relevance. The actors were carefully picked and displayed such professionalism, the location were amazing never new had such good universities in Senegal , the arts and craft of our African leaders carved out the African identity.. . . . The message this movie carries, how it was told is so special, insightful and artistic. The suspense is on another level, the melange of feelings it creates to us the viewers is something else.. . . . Citation is a must watch go watch it on NETFLIX	positive
Excellent Film. . . . This was a great film. A very simple storyline that provides a glimpse into the past to two boys (with many unknowns).. then the twists and turns that surround their reunion as grown men.. . . . Well done! So different from anything I've ever scene.	positive
Loved it. . . . ... beautiful movie ... i love my Nigerians. Beautiful storyline too . Well done	positive

Historic, Thrilling, Educative and Awesome	positive
This is my favourite Nigerian film. Really enthralling debut feature.	positive
I deeply appreciated seeing a movie with an emotional bond between two sisters who were connected in so many ways, but disconnected by romance and political views. The movie actors were superb and each character was perfectly cast for their roles.	positive
An Educational But Visceral & harrowing Film Expertly Crafted. . It's A great movie well acted and Directed Expertly Crafted while Being educational to a degree but it's a fully immersive visceral experience .. . . . Exploring Race ,and Gang Culture ,in England it's hard to believe some of these things Knowing that it was based on true story makes it and even tougher pill to swallow .Maybe a few scenes are for theatrical licence but still it comes from some where real .. . . . There's so many point in the film where i'd just ask why ? why would you do that ! Nooo !. . . . it's not for the faint hearted and it kind of messes with your mind it's the kind of movie that will leave you with many questions. . . . entertaining but thought provoking and intriguing A work of art One of the Most Original Movies I've seen in ages a refreshing perspective Definitely worth a watch	positive
It was a nice, wholesome movie about Love, Faith, Family and temptations of the world.......was a bit cheesy, but I enjoyed it. Fell in love with Mawuli Gavor and would watch it again just to see him..	positive
Beautiful movie depicting historic events in Benin kingdom. . . . This movie was very educational and interésting to watch. I am still in shock it was done in 2014. The acting and directing was superb. . Kudos to the cast and crew.	positive
Great concept. . . . Creative storyline with talented actors. A bit excessive with some of the flashbacks but still very interesting throughout.	positive
Authentic!. . . . This movie had so many parts that were real!. . . . People do borrow clothes and cars and pose with them, lie through their teeth to drum up business and people do learn from their mistakes and extend a helping hand.. . . . It was a great comedy with some good lessons including- don't believe the glitter!	positive
These people deserve a whole fucking lot of credit for this movie. The writing is eh. Performances are eh. But so, so hard, and they did it. You have to appreciate that. Also, this is not the Nigerian movie. This is a one-shot rom-com about twenty-something white people.	positive
Do-mi-til-la!. . . . Domitilla is a landmark film in the Nigerian home video industry	positive
Amazing!. . The Director and the producers did amazing work on this movie.	positive
An Intelligent Film. . . . This is a Film that gives an introspect into the degradation of surrealism and spiritual elements in the African society due to environmental pollution. This goes to show how the physical greatly affects the spiritual and vice versa. This is a really good movie to see.	positive
Heartwarming, good natured film. . . . Appreciated the message about the universality of love and the way the film goes on to show the value of the protagonist in a professional, moral capacity as well as a her beauty.	positive
Simply the best so far. . Not surprise that it is Kemi Adetiba on this one but everything about the film is the best of its kind so far in Nollywood. Of course there enough room for improvement. Cinematography was top notch but most impressive is the interpretation of the story.	positive
Great movie. . . . In terms of acting, this is one of the greatest movie I have watched. It took me back to the days of classical Nigerian movies wEré the acting was so pure and detailed. The storyline is immersive, and intriguing. Great movie.	positive
Two Thumbs Up. "Isoken meets Something New"	positive
The best of the movie finds a way to abridge the novel and still allow the scenes to breathe.	positive
I enjoyed the movie, and its overall message, that was frankly superimposed at all times. but the movie had a positive and optimistic message, so i found story development and everything to be appropriate.	positive
A story told like no other. . It's a quality movie, watch it with an open mind.	positive
Wow! Netflix finally picked up something good.	positive
Gem of a documentary, educational, hilarious, heartfelt, basically an emotional rollercoaster.	positive
The movie is well paced and has good, short scenes that pass across the message succinctly.	positive
It's a really nice movie..	positive
Level Up!. . . . Nollywood movies are getting up where we want it. I loved the acting, storyline & casting line-up of this movie. Its a good romcom in a Naija way!. . . . Nice acting y' all.	positive
flawed but enjoyable (and important). . . . A faithful adaptation of one of the novels that began modern Hausa literature in the colonial period, by the future Prime Minister of Nigeria, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. The acting is a bit stilted at times, and the director betrays his training in documentaries. But Hausa (or "Haoussa" as they spell it in most of the French speaking countries) is the largest language in Africa south of the Sahara, and if you are at all curious to see a Hausa movie, or real African film, this is one to see.. . . . When I saw it in the States with a friend we watched a long dialogue at the beginning, followed by subtitles which translated the exchange with two words: "Hello." and "Hello.". . . . My friend leaned over and whispered "What did they say?". . . . "That was it." I explained "That was 'hello' in Hausa.". . . . It may not always make sense to you, but to the Hausa this movie was a hit, and remains a classic, "must see" Hausa film.	positive
Cute and romantic movie. . . . I love the characters and how they unfold. Really sweet and relaxing movie. Think Love Jones.	positive
The character is bold and over the top as she should be, but Ms. Adetiba knows how to operate with directorial constraint. Kudos!. . I will recommend it highly to all whom I know.	positive
An amazing piece of work. . . . Truly, I went into the movie not really expecting much but I was pleasantly surprise. There are some scenes i am yet to recover from. Beautiful piece of work, stuff that classics are made of. I am really going to see it again!	positive
A Simple Story But Well Executed. . I would recommend the movie. It was solidly good and well worth watching	positive
Nice cross-country movie. . . . The only thing that I don't like about this movie is the way there was little or no interaction with the Nigerian or Indian environment.. . . . Beautiful romantic movie.	positive
Amusing and uplifting, without ever being sentimental, Nnaji clearly has a bright future in the director's chair.	positive
A must watch. . . . A cute movie,seye had qualities of what any woman will want...and if you want to watch something with the girl's I'll recommend this one.a decent movie that one can watch with they family.	positive
All I can say is that this movie is my movie of the year!	positive
This movie is the bomb.	positive
Amazing movie. . . . This movie captured the troubles faced by the average Gen Z Nigerian kid. It did not gloss over anything. It left you sad and annoyed at some places. It left you triggered which I think was the point. To force the viewer to live the reality of the characters. I'm happy this story got told.	positive
Amazing and Crazy Hilarious. . This is the most hilarious movie I have come across this year. . . The acting, story, cinematography and directing are all on point. Super impressed.	positive
Fantastic lead acting. Left emotionally devastated. Story is powerful.	positive
Arie and Chuko Esiri’s film is understated in its attunement to the challenges of trying to escape a stagnant existence	positive
One of the best nollywood movie. . . . I really enjoyed the movie, i now know why it's is considered as the first ground breaking nollywood movie	positive
This Is The Best Political Series In Africa. . . . Let me start by saying kudos to every new members that made this outstanding political series possible	positive
Feel good movie. . Subtitles needed to get the finer details of the plot, but wonderful characters and a credit to another side of Nigeria never shown.	positive
Fun to watch. . . . Enjoyed watching this movie. Love the perspective of the writer and the visuals. Appreciate that it wasn't the typical Nollywood movie.	positive
Nice movie for the holidays. . . . A funny, spirited comedy that is thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Good acting, great use of settings, brings out the various dynamics of Nigerian family, friends, societal struggles and quests for love and money.	positive
It’s a powerfully sensual movie, gorgeously lensed colors and textures conveying its characters emotional states while thoughtfully exploring the range of human sexuality through Adenike’s experience.	positive
This was Surprisingly interesting. True story movies are almost always good.	positive
Such a wonderful movie! From beginning to end it has you laughing, smiling, and crying. It really goes to show God's love and power even in our darkest and "Last Days." Many kudos to the cast (and producers) for a heart tugging film, their pain, suffering, love and triumphs were heartfelt throughout	positive
So relatable for Africans in the diaspora. . . . Spoke to my own experience if being a African not living in Africa and trying so to find belonging in a new home. Fantastic film!. . . .	positive
Very great movie.....it stimulates thoughts. There shouldn't be racial discrimination.	positive
Love it!!!. . . . Every movie from Kunle Afolayan is always a story we can all generally relate with. The storyline, natural acting , great casting is always something to watch out for. Citation has got a good story line with it's plots and twists describing natural causes in our lives. I would say, this is another amazing movie to watch.	positive
One of the best nollywood movie. . . . I really enjoyed the movie, i now know why it's is considered as the first ground breaking nollywood movie	positive

I thought the movie was well done. It's subject matter however is deadly serious. Kudos to the dedicated men and women of Lagos	positive
Farming is a excellent film but my god is it a tough watch. . . . This was by far one of the best movies I have seen this year. I do not know why the rating is so bad. This movie is by far better than some of the movies that have received Oscars including Moonlight.. . . . Farming is an extremely tough movie to watch. Every scene comes down on you... Hard enough to either make you cry out in pain, anger or just good old plain frustration. I couldn't stop cursing!	positive
OMG How did I miss this show. . . . I am so wrapped up in this series. Love every comedy line..Stella that's my girl right there...phenomenal actress.	positive
A decent movie's chance taken away from destructive criticism.	positive
This was one hell of a ride. . . . I recommend this movie to anyone interested into this topic - or anyone who enjoy great movies! Go watch this movie, and hit like NOW!	positive

It was a 2hours movie that I rather shouldn't call entertainment but a moment of empowerment. If I was having doubts, my conviction got better... I was able to connect with the movie because obviously, I have experienced a touch of God before.. . . . I say "yes" again to God's call.

But Hausa (or "Haoussa" as they spell it in most of the French speaking countries) is the largest language in Africa south of the Sahara, and if you are at all curious to see a Hausa movie, or real African film, this is one to see.. . . . When I saw it in the States with a friend we watched a long dialogue at the beginning, followed by subtitles which translated the exchange with two words: "Hello." and "Hello.". . . . My friend leaned over and whispered "What did they say?". . . . "That was it." I explained "That was 'hello' in Hausa.". . . . It may not always make sense to you, but to the Hausa this movie was a hit, and remains a classic, "must see" Hausa film.

The character is bold and over the top as she should be, but Ms. Adetiba knows how to operate with directorial constraint. Kudos!. . I will recommend it highly to all whom I know.

A Simple Story But Well Executed. . I would recommend the movie. It was solidly good and well worth watching

Nice cross-country movie. . . . The only thing that I don't like about this movie is the way there was little or no interaction with the Nigerian or Indian environment.. . . . Beautiful romantic movie.

Amusing and uplifting, without ever being sentimental, Nnaji clearly has a bright future in the director's chair.

Amazing movie. . . . This movie captured the troubles faced by the average Gen Z Nigerian kid. It did not gloss over anything. It left you sad and annoyed at some places. It left you triggered which I think was the point. To force the viewer to live the reality of the characters. I'm happy this story got told.

It’s a powerfully sensual movie, gorgeously lensed colors and textures conveying its characters emotional states while thoughtfully exploring the range of human sexuality through Adenike’s experience.

positive

This was Surprisingly interesting. True story movies are almost always good.

Such a wonderful movie! From beginning to end it has you laughing, smiling, and crying. It really goes to show God's love and power even in our darkest and "Last Days." Many kudos to the cast (and producers) for a heart tugging film, their pain, suffering, love and triumphs were heartfelt throughout

So relatable for Africans in the diaspora. . . . Spoke to my own experience if being a African not living in Africa and trying so to find belonging in a new home. Fantastic film!. . . .

Very great movie.....it stimulates thoughts. There shouldn't be racial discrimination.

Love it!!!. . . . Every movie from Kunle Afolayan is always a story we can all generally relate with. The storyline, natural acting , great casting is always something to watch out for. Citation has got a good story line with it's plots and twists describing natural causes in our lives. I would say, this is another amazing movie to watch.

Actually Amazing. . It has everything. Binge watched the entire season. Brilliant cast and has useful legal information for their target audience. Educational, suspense filled, funny and relatable characters. What more can you ask for? It literally ticks al the boxes.

Farming is a excellent film but my god is it a tough watch. . . . This was by far one of the best movies I have seen this year. I do not know why the rating is so bad. This movie is by far better than some of the movies that have received Oscars including Moonlight.. . . . Farming is an extremely tough movie to watch. Every scene comes down on you... Hard enough to either make you cry out in pain, anger or just good old plain frustration. I couldn't stop cursing!

positive

OMG How did I miss this show. . . . I am so wrapped up in this series. Love every comedy line..Stella that's my girl right there...phenomenal actress.

A decent movie's chance taken away from destructive criticism.
