If I have to recommend a movie to see this year, it is The New Normal.
positive
It is the most fantastic Nollywood movie I have seen in 2020.
positive
Technically, the movie has excellent cinematography, crisp pictures, and great audio – all features that make for an excellent cinematic experience. Some of the camera angles were unusual, in a pleasant way, drawing the viewer in and immersing them in the conversation going on screen.
positive
The on-screen chemistry and synergy between and amongst the actors was beautiful to see. It is one thing to have a great script; it is something else to have excellent interpretation of the script. This movie nailed both.
positive
For a Romantic comedy drama, one would expect an ending where every broken relationship is restored, but that did not quite happen. It had a happily ever after, but not your usual one, hence staying true to its title, the New Normal.
positive
From the opening scene, this movie took me by the jugular and did not let me go till the very end. There was never a dull moment and I noticed no drag or any unnecessary scenes. This movie has a cast of super stars, and none of them overshadowed one another. This movie, and the writer deserves every award coming it’s way.
positive
The pictures of the movies are so crisp and pleasant on the eyes. This is a lovely cinematic experience.. . . . . . . .
positive
If you ever thought Nollywood couldn’t give us a psychological thriller, you might have to eat your words now. This movie is a brilliant psychological thriller that had the audience not just on the edge of their seats and talking to the characters, but also earned an applause when the curtains were drawn.
positive
The quality of the script cannot be faulted. It shows a well researched storyline that flows naturally and has no stilted parts. You would keep wondering, thinking you had solved the crime, only for you to later realise the script is several steps ahead of you. The movie is two and half hours in length, but there is no dull moment.
positive
Eagle Wings is a good and enjoyable movie. It is certainly a good outing for the Nigerian Airforce. The War/Military movie genre is not something that we get to see often from Nollywood. This is easily the best we have seen so far, much better than any others in the genre. We hope to see more of such movies showcasing the Nigerian Military apparatus in action
positive
This movie, which is a cocktail of laughter, emotions, with a strong vine of authentic romance holding it all together, is a sequel to an earlier one by the same director, Biodun Stephen. I am glad to see that it is a refreshing departure from how Nollywood does sequels. It was not a direct continuation of the previous story, but characters from there were seamlessly flowed into this.
positive
If you are looking for a tight plot, excellent acting, unusual reveals, and situational comedy, with a touch of home-grown romance, this is the movie for you.
positive
I’m happy I saw this film.
positive
EB answers the question of who’s to blame in Nollywood for the terrible performances in some movies. Writers and directors are the culprits. The actors on EB, who delivered some of the best performances of their careers, have been in critically panned films with reviews that bastardized their talents. Akay Mason’s EB is proof that well-written characters and a motivated director will push our thespians into perfection. Even Shaggi finally played a purposeful funny man.
positive
I’m double happy this film was made. Welcome to my 9/10 team, EB. I can’t wait to see you again, again and again.
positive
There were points when the comedy went overboard, and I wondered what was happening, but overall, it was worth the time, delivering a good laugh and lessons to be learnt. I look forward to more productions from Bisola Ayeola, who co-produced this movie.
null
The location and props used were unusual, but they totally worked for the type of movie it is. I actually want to take a vacation to Badagry and experience the old buildings and enjoy the decor.
null
Breaded Life has the viewers laughing from the first scene and does not let up till the last scene, including the post script.
positive
What a hilarious but yet educating movie.
positive
The chemistry they both display on the screen is a thing of beauty to see.
positive
Timini Egbuson has truly grown as an actor, and it is refreshing to see him able to follow the development of his character from a spoiled rich kid to a hard-working street hustler.
positive
One the best movie out of Nigeria…it funny and captivating.. filled with suspense…I love it..
positive
It was a fantastic movie.
positive
While every movie or work of art has its flaws, Breaded Life is almost perfect. A few of the scenes may have gone on a tad longer than necessary, but they do not detract from the overall enjoyment of the story.
positive
Every single character in the movie did an excellent job. This includes Biodun Stephen playing a cameo role. But Bimbo Ademoye and Timini Egbuson deserve the best accolades. Bimbo is such a versatile actor, it is a beautiful thing to watch. She embodies the character of the bread seller, who life keeps dealing a bad hand, yet she rolls with it and makes the best of it. Bimbo must have trained for months; you will believe she is an Egun woman. She also speaks the language, both of the street and of the character, beautifully.
positive
The story draws you in so much that you find a bit of yourself in all the characters. It weaves everyday character, everyday life, everyday comedy into a story of self discovery, paying penance for years of indulgent living, and concluding in a reveal that the director has been subtly hinting at, but which you are not able to touch till it is handed to you. You keep guessing, but when the reveal happens, it is so satisfying that you are happy for the suspense
positive
The locations are perfect for the movie, giving us such a rich viewing experience, moving us from the affluent neighbourhoods to the almost destitute areas where people have to work for daily wages.
positive
This is a great movie.
positive
Enjoy! Very nice... very nice indeed.
positive
. . Very well made movie with some excellent acting to boot... along, with great all round production. You won't be disappointed at all.
positive
I totally recommend this movie... you are sure to enjoy this.
positive
A movie for those who think and reflect. I strongly recommend.
positive
it's a good movie... well made and tells an okay story... to be enjoyed on your Tv at home.
positive
Here is a solid movie... surprisingly emotional too. All round solid performances coupled with a compelling story line. This is sure to touch you.
positive
Just finished watching #Livinginbondagebreakingfree . . Things are really happening tho 💔💯.. . . . @RamseyNouah. . great movie 💯💪🏾🇳🇬
positive
Saw the movie #ITKthemovie courtesy of . . @Omojuwa. . meet and greet . Thankyou so much.
positive
#ITKthemovie should be our Nigerian Christmas movie this year. It’s absolutely amazing. Very realistic, relatable and of course, hilarious 😂
positive
The only thing coming to my head rn as the funniest thing I've spent money on is #ITKthemovie 😭. Cracked me up and was totally worth it! 💯
positive
A must watch for every self respecting Ninja turtles fan out there! And a great movie for kids. Also, if you were never a Ninja turtles fan, but you enjoyed the Transformers movies, then you will definitely enjoy this one too.
positive
This is a great movie to see... It tells a real life story that is touching and engaging. You will be moved to tears, but... you will be made to laugh too.
positive
it's definitely not a waste of money.
positive
It's a well made movie... good acting...
positive
it's an enjoyable drama.
positive
This has got some great acting performances
positive
Those who want to laugh and feel mushy, mushy, will most definitely enjoy this one.
positive
. . Filled with more than a few laughs, you will find yourself laughing quite hard. But it's not a comedy... it has got some serious undertones to the story, but all in all it's very well laid out.
positive
its quite entertaining. Okay story, Good acting (minus Uche Jombo's) and more than a few laughs.
positive
this is a great movie. A step in the right direction for the Nigerian movie industry a.k.a Nollywood. The story is a magnificently solid and you should appreciate it's not another of the usual stories Nollywood is known for... it's not about a cheating husband, a wicked mother-in-law, a bad son or witchcraft.
positive
I found myself literally laughing out loud for extended periods of time... thanks both to the hilarious scenarios and the stellar acting.
positive
. . Production is also great... it's not the best have seen, even in Nigeria, but... there's no shoddy annoying camera work here.
positive
. . It's got great all round acting and a very well written script... with a good story to boot... especially for a comedy.
positive
This is a lovely movie... filled with some great laughs. I recommend.
positive
I am 20 minutes into #LivingInBondageBreakingFree and I have already concluded its the best movie ever directed in the Nollywood space. The casting, the set, plot, the score, soundtrack, picture & sound editing, visual effects and the dialogues all top notch. I am impressed.
positive
Your role interpretation in #livinginbondagebreakingfree was excellent @munachiabii. Good job
positive
I'm watching #LivingInBondageBreakingFree after so much anticipation... 30 minutes into the movie, my expectations are already being superceded 😭🔥🔥. . . . Amazing stuff... Its night, let me be watching and tweeting alone 😌
positive
Ramsey Nouah is acting this role as if he was born as the character... 😍Perfection...
positive
The movie "Living in Bondage Breaking Free" was worth the hype. Gosh, I so enjoyed watching the movie now. Well done to all the actors 🙌🙌 #livinginbondagebreakingfree #WednesdayThoughts
positive
@Ramseynouah_ you were the perfect villain 👌🏾 for #livinginbondagebreakingfree Cinematography was 👌🏾 as well as some scenes. Well done!
positive
#LivinginBondageBreakingFree. . This is prolly, no scratch that, this is the best Nollywood movie I've ever seen. . . . @iam_ramseynouah killed it. . An actor with a difference!
positive
This movie is great. Worth watching. Love how it reminds me of old nollywood #livinginbondagebreakingfree
positive
Living in bondage is a brilliant movie. . . A series teaching can be done on the encounter between "Andy Okeke and Richard Williams" in the church scene. . . Deep knowledge !!! . . #netflix #livinginbondagebreakingfree
positive
Actually, am a big fan of Mr. Latin, so naturally am full of praises and maybe a little biased. But trust me, on this, the praise is well deserved.
positive
If you watched living in bondage in the early-mid 90s, and watched #livinginbondagebreakingfree , you will appreciate the growth of the Nigerian movie industry!!! Kudos to Ramsey Nouah, he did justice to this!
positive
finally watched #livinginbondage #livinginbondagebreakingfree one word DAMN!!! awesome movie !!
positive
The movie is everything! 👏🏾. . . . Acting, production, wardrobe, cinematography, culture...everything so rich & upscale.. . . . The inclusion of some of the 1992 actors was the icing on the cake.
positive
I thoroughly enjoyed #LIB #LivingInBondageBreakingFree . . Thank you @stevegukas @ramseynouah1 and everyone involved. Give us a sequel already. 😍
positive
On Saturday I finally went to see the most anticipated movie of 2019, #livinginbondagebreakingfree. I was really excited and just literally praying that the movie is as good as the prequel, 1992 #livinginbondage . . And to be honest, the movie was really good.
positive
Living in Bondage, is easily the best Nigerian Movie I have seen in over 5 years.#LIB #swankyjka #livinginbondange #livinginbondagebreakingfree
positive
. . Lmao this Rajs friend in this movie is probably my favorite character. He played it so well. So Nigerian! I would definitely love to see more of him. . . #NamasteWahala
positive
#NamasteWahala is actually a good movie 😅😅😅😅☺️. Thoroughly enjoyed it
positive
I was just smiling during Raj and Didi’s wedding😅. Thank God they sha God married after all the wahala.. . Namaste wahala is such a good movie #NamasteWahala #Netflix
positive
Can we please talk about #NamasteWahala ?? How everything is just 👌 perfect.. the storyline, the authenticity, esp the accents and can we talk about the actors?! The way ALL of them were just perfect, I loved Raj's mom! And omg the Indian bgmusic.. everything's a solid 10/10!!
positive
I enjoyed #NamasteWahala sha.
positive
#NamasteWahala was probably the funniest movie I’ve seen in months. Definitely worth a watch imo
positive
I really wanted to appreciate #NamasteWahala. Every fibre in me was willing me to be bowled over. Still appreciative that it was conceived of. #Nollywood #Bollywood #NollywoodBollywood. . Great concept, poor execution
positive
I so enjoyed watching Sanitation Day that I would watch it again if I could.
positive
Technically, the sound quality of the movie was very good, always in sync, and of the right volumes for all scenes. But it could have done with some more music. It is possible though that the movie was designed like that so we could focus on the dialogue.
positive
The movie started like a Whodunnit with a lot of comedy – situational, natural and unforced comedy. The first half of the movie had me laughing, but by the second half I was on the edge of my seat, because the reveal was very interesting and there were a lot of things to unravel. Sitting on the edge of my seat was to ensure I missed nothing.
positive
The brilliance of a movie is a collaboration between the actors and the director. I must say every actor brought their A game and left everything on the screen. This holds true for even those who appear in only two scenes.. .
positive
I enjoyed seeing very good parts of Lagos, both on the mainland and the island, used, unlike other movies that stay in one location. Lagos is a beautiful place to shoot a movie, especially if the diversity of the state is put to use, as seen here. Accident scenes are usually tricky for Nollywood to portray, but it was a pleasant surprise to see a very believable one here.
positive
La Femme Anjola is a well packaged Crime-thriller that deserves every award coming its way. I look forward to more beautiful storytelling like this. Movies of this overall outstanding quality may cost a bit more, but they are totally worth it. Nobody can tell our stories like us, and we need to tell them in ways that are unique to us.
positive
The production quality of La Femme Anjola is very good. It is hard to believe it is not Rita Dominic singing directly, which speaks of very good directing and editing.
positive
Rita Dominic still has the goods: she fully portrays the femme fatale – the lady a man still wants to love and save from her pain. Nonso Bassey as Dejare is brilliant; he embodied the right mix of brilliance, intelligence, and naivety required for the role. . .
positive
The brilliance of a movie is a collaboration between the actors and the director. I must say every actor brought their A game and left everything on the screen. This holds true for even those who appear in only two scenes.
positive
A very important part of a movie is how the audience relates with the lead characters, both protagonists and villains. The way to achieve this is to provide their background and provide a sympathetic connection to the audience. La Femme Anjola does this well. I became sympathetic with the villains: I could see humanity in them; after all, nobody is all bad. Every twist in the story is totally unexpected and the movie truly shows, rather than tells, us the story.
positive
Collision Course was direct to the point, no gimmicks. The acting was fantastic, definitely a story that needed to be told.. . . . Bolanle Austen-Peters guided the narrative in a fluent manner, giving us insight into the lead characters' personalities, aspirations, fears, and beliefs. Collision Course was a relatable story plunging into the realities of police brutality. What made it great was the constant discussion of police treatment on the TV, radio, etc; we got to hear various perspectives. The film spoke to those who have been subjected to this harassment through Mide's plight.. . . . The film was a deep narrative that touched on a sensitive topic in a simple and plain way; a sophisticated storytelling could have rendered it more sizzling and kept us glued to our chairs.
positive
. . The chaos created by social stratification based on who earns how much has led to increased crime rates in developing countries like Nigeria. With such an important message at its core, I urge everyone to watch the movie at least once.
positive
I think Collison Course is an important film that people need to watch. It won’t be a surprise if this film wins great awards in the future. A very lengthy process must have been required to make the film the way it is. Highlighting such issues and showing all the small details is not an easy job. In every aspect, this film is a masterpiece as it shows the harsh reality that people have to face in their day-to-day lives.
positive
#ITKthemovie na one kin film y'all need not to sleep on.. . . . . Educative, enlightenment, hilarious, comedy na 100%,go check it out already guys if you haven't
positive
There is no lie #ITKthemovie is worth the hype. It is such a feel Good movie about family and love.. . Directed by Biodun Stephen. . . Don't go see it alone, take someone along.
positive
One thing you are assured of in this movie is continual laughter right from the start, all through the conflicts, and on to the final resolution. . .
positive
The movie gave a showcase of water transportation available in Lagos, which is good promotion for the state. It was also refreshing to see a totally different location, Badagry, in a Nigerian movie. Badagry has potentials that have not been fully explored yet. . .
positive
Introducing the Kujus movie reminds me of one of Tyler Perry’s Madea movies, Madea’s family reunion, but that is where the resemblance to a foreign movie ends. This is a wholly Nigerian movie.
positive
Femi Jacobs is truly underrated, and I love his portrayal of his role. He always brings his A game.
positive
Bisola’s range of emotions as an actor was well explored in this movie, and I love her acting. I look forward to seeing her in much more serious roles, perhaps as a villain.. . . .
positive
Ronke Odusanya has made her mark for years in Yoruba Nollywood and she is well respected. In Introducing The Kujus, she brought her A-game, and I enjoyed watching her interactions and synergy with the other actors.
