It is a well directed and produced movie with a very sensitive theme. The story is well told and brought to life with an amazing cast.
positive
A must watch for younger Nigerians and general lovers of a good film.. . I will be looking out for more work by Kunle Afolayan. Well done!!!
positive
The drama is fast-paced and well apportioned; the comedy is natural and connects well with the viewers.
positive
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.
positive
I love King of Boys. . Kemi Adetiba is a Brilliant Producer. King of Boys is a must watch. I love the drama and suspense.
positive
5-star movie alert!. . . . Citation is a must watch for everyone, it embodies a part of the rich African culture, an amazing love story, overall the movie is fantastic.
positive
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.
positive
pretty good. . . . It felt semi messy at times and was very overdramatized but I really enjoyed watching it anyway
positive
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.
positive
Outstanding. . Good acting performance to all the characters. Great videography. Truly epic & relatable to the street life of many. Perfect!!
positive
It is the kind of distinctive, culture-driven drama from emerging filmmakers that I wish we saw more of.
positive
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.
positive
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 !
positive
I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Beautifully shot and delightfully funny.
positive
Very Touching, Very good, Very recommended
positive
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.
positive
Amazing Film. . . . Indeed the most anticipated film from Nollywood 2019 didn't disappoint. Loved it all. Well done to Genevieve and Team
positive
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
positive
Dope movie. . The cast selection was perfect, costumes on point and made a good villain 👏
positive
"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.
positive
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.
positive
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.
positive
This Lady Called Life is a gentle and sweet romantic comedy woven around the issues of childhood parental abuse and of generational curses.
positive
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.
positive
Good watch. . Nigerian Nollywood movie is on the next level, nice storyline..
positive
nollywood going up YEsSIR. this is a new bar set dude and i love that its written and directed by a woman
positive
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.
positive
great cinematography. good editing. could do with a better story. writing was good also. overall good movie. great work by genevieve nnaji
positive
Very Different!. . . . This is not your everyday movie. The star actors really deserve awards for their roles. I loved every minute of it. Please watch!
positive
Loved everybit of this movie. . . . I have seen this movie 5 times already. i really like the movie
positive
Mind Blowing Piece Of Work.. . . . Enjoyed it. Been a while I saw a movie so well acted and delivered. The theme was beautifully touched on. Well done Genevieve Nnaji and Team. Looking forward to your next reviews
positive
Isoken is so beautiful 😍😍❤️. . Love the outfits. . The ending location was beautiful too, and I enjoyed the ending itself as well.. . . . I was feeling down and this film lifted me up 😁❤️
positive
Funny Christmas Comedy. . This movie had me cracking up from the start.
positive
Excellent and well portrayed series about the Nigerian Legal system. . . . Very informative about the Nigerian Legal System. It also portrays the challenges in family business and the compromises that follow.
positive
Carries a rare sense of pensive cognizance and further provokes reflection on the part of its target audience.
positive
I would recommend this movie to anyone and everyone interested in Nigerian history and heritage.
positive
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.
positive
a week in the life of nigerians. good stuff.
positive
We were blessed to see 'Coming From Insanity' with a thirty something strong audience and we could literally feel their veins bursting with excitement as we were drawn closer and closer to the climax.
positive
Enjoyable. . This movie is enjoyable. Just keep an open mind, It is nice to see how upcoming actors and musicians can hold their own.. . I binge-watched it.
positive
Beautiful movie depicting historic events in Benin kingdom. . Kudos to the cast and crew.
positive
EXCELLENT film! The actors were great performers. The scenery and backdrops were well done. The soundtrack outstanding. The storyline is the bomb!
positive
Audiences will be pleasantly entertained with Nigerian director Kemi Adetiba's The Wedding Party, a charming, romantic comedy with a unique international flavor.
positive
lol dis movie is funny ð???ð???ð???ð???ð???ð???ð???
positive
This movie is one that captured and then diminished my interest,but then captured it again.
positive
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!
positive
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.
positive
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...
positive
This is an incredibly tasteful movie. Great acting by the leading lady.
positive
Kunle afolayan master piece
positive
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.
positive
Top notch. . All I have to say is that this movie was topnotch!!!! Kemi Adetiba you are the boss🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
positive
Best of Nollywood. . . . This is truly an exceptional film. the acting as beautiful and believable. Kudos to the team behind the film and Biola Alabi. Seyi Shay is a star abeg. And the camera WOW!!! Nollywood to the world!!!
positive
Citation: Kunle Afolayan's Deceptively Simple Yet Incredibly Complex Movie
positive
Excellent Storyline and Great Characters. . . . Can't wait for Season 2!!! The show is well written, the characters are fully developed and the story lines are complex.
positive
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.
positive
Great work. . This was a good one, watched it once but it was totally worth it.
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
Great film. . . . I worked on this film. I don't normally watch films I've worked on but this was amazing top man ade John
positive
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.
positive
Was glued!!!!. . . . I enjoyed it. It was brilliant coming from the stables of Hollywood movies. Not a wasted time spent
positive
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.
positive
Outstanding- sad, painful and jubilant
positive
This is a must see movie. I was very impressed!!!
positive
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.
positive
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.
positive
I Enjoyed every bit of LionHeart. It warmed my heart watching Nollywood veterans bring the characters to life. Totally enjoyed Genevieve's acting.
positive
Powerful Movie asking and exposing the world medical system as satanic
positive
Absolutely Stunning Picture. . Incredible. . . The lighting, cinematography, props are so beautiful, this movie can definitely be categorized as modern classic.
positive
My own understanding. . . . The storyline is interesting and I loved everything about the movie 🔥🔥
positive
Amazing. . . . The storyline is quiet interesting, the actors are amazing and it wasn't as predictable as I thought it would.. Picture quality is awesome, Molly wood has really grown.
positive
A must watch!. . . . From beginning to end, the hairs on the back of my neck couldn't stop standing. The story line was simple yet captivating, the acting was bang on and flawless.
positive
Well, the movie is good, I actually enjoyed it I got what I expected after seeing the end scene of Chief Daddy (the first movie) The actors did a good job with their roles, and yea the movie gat me laughing 😂😂 It was hilarious.
positive
This movie is a beautiful representation of a modern life for a family faces with running a failing company in Nigeria, the camera play, acting and just overall environment of the movie exceeded its expectations. . . LOVED IT
positive
Good African Soap Opera. Two Thumbs Up
positive
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...
positive
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.
positive
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.
positive
Great documentary. . . . Spent the entire time looking at her beautiful skin( bev naya) and listening to the soothing soundtrack.
positive
Well written and superbly directed!. . . . Nigeria is really peculiar, from the demographics and its diversity, Doctor Lanre touches every part our realities and everyday living. Doctor Lanre is a must watch!
positive
One of the best in African drama series. . . . The talent, top notch , such quality acting from those ladies, hands down perfect.and the script was informative and well executed.. . . . Keep it up Nollywood you're on the right track.
positive
Petition for a season 2!. . . . I really really loved this and could totally relate, interesting from start to finish, kudos to cast and directors. Can there be a season and maybe better publicity?
positive
Loved the movie. . . . It had a slow start but quickly picked up! A must watch!
positive
Powerful and deeply human film. . This is a very beautiful and thought-provoking movie which I can highly recommend to everyone.
positive
Great Movie. . . . Kudos to the production team. Excellent Movie, The picture quality was Superb. Depiction of culture, through language, mannerisms etc was impeccable
positive
"Narradores de Javé", a generally hidden treasure even here in Brazil, is a very good Brazilian film with a simple, but good story.
positive
MY FAVORITE ROMCOM, YOU BITCHES COULD NEVER!!! and i was rooting for the white man... what about it? i can hate em and love em at the same time, the duality of man. thank you
positive
A great inspirational movie. A great family movie to watch with older kids.

Such wonderful writing. . . . Doctor Lanre is a wonderful movie. Had so much fun watching this one. It captures the everyday life, demographic, region, it is diverse and a joy to watch.
positive
Brilliant film. a really good watch
positive
Amazing. . . . This is a much watch movie , absolutely draws you in ,in this true story , please please watch this as you won't be disappointed
positive
Great ending. This movie kept me interested until the end, which is not easy to find in movies these days. A little predictable but still has suspense.
positive
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
positive
Want to watch again. . This is one of those Nigerian movies you watch over and over and over again. Great work all through.
positive
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.
positive
Original. . . . I am impressed. And I am rarely with 9ja movies/series. But am here at 1am watching this. It connects the dots. Kudos to the effort. Arese kudos.
