Breath of fresh air!. . . . FINALLY - a movie shot in Nigeria with international standards. Effortlessly funny and cunning, superior direction and cinematography. Eclectic, intentionally entertaining and attention gripping. Perfect blend of wit and humor depicted through deliberately complex yet simple visuals. Left me with the happy fuzzys.

Beautiful production but a weak storyline. . . . The acting was superb. Charley Boy is a delight to watch on camera. This was a wonderful effort by Kemi Adetiba and I'm really happy I got a chance to watch this.

pretty good. . . . It felt semi messy at times and was very overdramatized but I really enjoyed watching it anyway

Amazing work of art!. . . . Doctor Lanre will leave you glued to your seat all through. Great story, amazing cast, fantastic rendition of lines and suspense filled. The story is so unique, a diversion from the regular Nollywood love story.

Amazing show. . . . This show is super amazing. It has 13 episodes and i was able to finish all episodes in 2 days.. . . . Can't wait to see Season 2.. . . . Everyone did very well, it is hard to pick my favorite.

I saw this film in the FIFF (festival de films internationnal de Fribourg, in Swiss). This story is beautiful, and Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje is incredible. If you can see the movie, you must go, you wont be sad !

If you enjoyed the Godfather then you'll enjoy this. The storyline was beautiful and the plot twist at the end was incredible but there was some very unrealistic scenes that prove to be plot holes. But all in all the plot is very solid.

Amazing Film. . . . Indeed the most anticipated film from Nollywood 2019 didn't disappoint. Loved it all. Well done to Genevieve and Team

The plot twist is different. Kudos. . . . I'm a fan of Nigerian films. This one is different. The plot twist is different that I couldn't predict nor see anything coming. Kudos to the writer Ifeanyi Opara. The actors were super too. Characters were well interpreted

Dope movie. . The cast selection was perfect, costumes on point and made a good villain 👏

"Narradores de Javé" is a funny and dramatic simple story supported by a good and original screenplay, great direction and excellent performances of the cast formed by actors, actresses and amateurish simple persons.

Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje and his life story touched my heart.. . . . Totally underrated.. . . . It's very well directed, and very emotional.. . . . I recommend this movie to everyone who likes biographical movies and real life stories.

This world is ravishingly beautiful, but there’s also something oppressive about its exoticism. The color doesn’t just saturate the frame; it thickens it.

positive
|
This epic approach to a terrible conflict incorporates newsreels and maps to make things clearer for the uninitiated. It's an impressive film on many levels, and a significant achievement for the embryonic Nigerian film industry.

This Lady Called Life is a gentle and sweet romantic comedy woven around the issues of childhood parental abuse and of generational curses.

|
Beautiful, poetic, and hard-hitting without the use of excessive force and deeply layered with evolving and regional nuances of feminine experience
|
positive
|
A much needed mascarade. . . . This is not just another naija silly film. It's still silly and Nigerian, but in a witty, essentially thought-provoking way. It's a statement. An indepth look into physical vs spiritual balance, which we're all seeking today. A fable with humble esthetics.

Absolutely Splendid diving into a decade long issue of harassment by Lecturers. . Please more of this meaningful content. Not movies focused on Lekki and oil money lifestyles. Yes some things might have been better but it gets a 10 from me because this is the type of content i love to see come out of nollywood.. . . . Big respect to you Kunle.

Juju stories is a three short stories in a 1 hr 20 mins movie. The first story 'Love Portion' is where the juice is, the second story is 'Yam' is a woeful failure and 'Suffer The Witch' is eerily good. It is a win, 2 out of 3 were good.

Uplifting, inspirational, beautiful movie.. . . . My husband chose this movie and I didn't want to watch it. But I became totally sucked in and couldn't leave the room. The story of Sade is sad, but all that she goes through brings healing to her broken heart and changes her life in a meaningful and positive way. My husband and I both loved this movie!

Interesting but.... . . . It was too much melodramatic, but I enjoyed it. On the other hand this is a great tribute to all the medical staff who where at the epicenter of the crisis.

Greetings, the movie the figurine reminds me a lesson from the English text book read during or probably school days, namely The Bottle Imp. The crux of the movie plot/story is identical equal to the bottle imp. Please no controversies, just my opinion, that is all. . . Thanking you...

The casting of KOB 2 gives the most appropriate roles to the people who would leave all on the screen, and they give stellar performances, including those who had non-speaking roles and cameo appearances. The acting is on point, so much that even facial expressions spoke volumes.

Absolutely brilliant. . . . Couldn't have been better really. I wondered what they would create after the initial movie but this limited series shows that a lot of work went into the production of this movie.

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.

Don't listen to this negative feedback. . . . I’ve noticed some people can't handle the truth so they have to make up lies this is a great film not everything is true in the film but Adewale has said that but the old Tilbury skins are just jealous .... Take the film for what it is and understand life was bad in the 70s 80s for a lot of people enjoy the film and don't listen to this bad criticism.

It's good if you enjoy the subject. . . . If this is a subject you like then it's a decent movie.. . . . But it is extremely subdued and slow. The movie makes it worse and often is as loud as the speaking.

NOT A FAN OF NIGERIAN MOVIES, BUT THIS ONE PLEASES. . . . The cast director selected wisely, the actors impressively reincarnate the true events back to life. Overall, its a cinematic masterpiece, hence the Netflix distribution.

I'd say: worth watching!. . . . Well made, well played, good actors, even though it might seem a bit slow at times (and over 2 hrs altogether), I still think it is worth watching anytime. Of course, it is not the brightest and happiest movie to watch during these corona and pandemic times.... . . . but I liked it.

I thought it would be quite boring, however it was more engaging than I supposed, good characters, good acting, marathoning Nigerian movies and in love with them... , by the elite population, sad observation, apart from the patriarchal machismo, the scene of the wife humiliating herself to apologize, on her knees, was outrageous, although it has a comical character, veiled submission, or explicit...

Beautifully written!. . . . Theré weré no words minced and no truth, decorated falsely. This teaches a whole lot of message and exposure to the human trafficking world! Plus Sharon Ooja is such an exceptional actress.

THE BEST MOVIE. EVER.. . . . Things Fall Apart is the BEST movie ever. Even better than The Force Awakens. It should have won at least 5 Oscars. Okonkwo is the sexiest man I've ever seen, and everyone I've met who have seen him desire him.

Some very fine acting. . . . With all the fake drama dominating Nollywood, which nothing says about the life of average Nigerian, Mokalik almost feels revolutionary. Values are the thread of an only apparently simple story. Really wish this movie may set a bew trend

Want to watch again. . This is one of those Nigerian movies you watch over and over and over again. Great work all through.

Overall, it's a fascinating slice of modern history that may be unfamiliar to some, which can also give us an insight into the making of contemporary Nigeria.
