A steamy soap opera unfolding against the backdrop of a cautionary history lesson reminding us that in Nigeria, the more things change, the more they stay insane. | positive |
An enormous amount of work and scrutiny went into making this. Such an enormous amount, its quality stands out easily and brazenly. The sheer amount of authenticity is simply breathtaking. | positive |
My Village People is a movie that will have you losing your home training while watching it. But it is a pathfinder of sorts. Nollywood generally has not done a good job of making the supernatural sexy and appealing. My Village People achieves it effortlessly, and deserves copious amount of praise. | positive |
The story is nothing we haven't seen before but its told from a Nigerian perspective, its funny, quirky and the dialogue is great when compared with others available in the Nigerian market.. . . . I totally enjoyed the movie, would definitely recommend (to my Naija folks!). | positive |
1980's, drug mules, beautiful black women ... I'm in heaven | positive |
Realistic but slow pacing and very melodramatic.. . . . Good acting, based on true events and a decent story. The pacing was a little too slow for my liking and some scenes feel like a made-for-tv movie (the cheese music and the over dramatization).. . . . Overall watchable if you know what you are getting into ahead of time. | positive |
Correction.. . . . Thanks for this. I am impressed with it. But I Nelson Orah played the character of Ahmed, not Umar. I will appreciate it if it is corrected. | positive |
She is' Super Fantastic! You want to see this movie. This movie is extraordinarily enjoyable. Pure Nollywood sweetness. | positive |
I was thrilled after watching the movie, everything was on point. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the cast and crew. The director, Kemi Adetiba did a great job and I'm so proud of her. I have recommended it to so many people. I look forward to watching more of her work. | positive |
Genevieve Nnaji stamps her foot concretely in the pantheon of genuis directors. She doesn't disappoint in her debut, Lion Heart. It's a must watch, as it announces the birth of an international Nollywood. | positive |
Nollywood at its peak!!!!. . . . This movie tells a story about culture, unity and family. So many themes that I can't finish mentioning. | positive |
A Good and Wise film. It was a good film, that shows the dangers of Nigerian tribalism and how it can affect a young love. | positive |
this movie is a good offering in the genre. | positive |
Loved this Movie. . . . I was really surprised to read negative reviews for this movie. Do we truly know what a good movie is? This movie was really good, very enjoyable. Well developed characters, believable and relatable story line. And the quality, fantastic. Well done guys. Loved it even more than wedding party 1 and 2. I am not disappointed at all. | positive |
Saw the Premieré in Houston Texas. . . . This movie should win an Oscar Award. The Storyline is so good. The Actors weré all incredible. | positive |
Anyone who loves art, Who's seen part one will know the plot and storyline was already built dEré and this was a follow up. | positive |
Great outcome. | positive |
Expository Movie. . . . This is a very good and distinct movie. Some people might not like it perhaps because they are used to the love or thriller story films or perhaps because they are not used to life with a vehicle. They movie truly shows how things really are in the life of mechanics, apprentices and customers. It also teachers parents and children a good lesson. It is a seemingly perfect expository movie. | positive |
Understated, powerful crime drama with historical flavor. . This was a very character rich film. Not a single scene was wasted. | positive |
Great continuity throughout the movie... The writer and director is highly intelligent and creative. Thank you so much for this amazing movie | 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 |
Citation the movie. . Perfect Movie. Loved every second of the movie. Wished it didn't end | positive |
Akinnuoye-Agbaje's directorial debut is a troubling coming-of-age story based upon the directors own experiences as a 'farmed out' Nigerian child in the UK during a period of surging xenophobia in the wake of the Windrush generations arrival. The look and feel of the films early moments present a setting and characters so raw and realistic that one could only capture from having experienced them. The pacing of the film in many ways reflects this. At times seeming to take on an almost frantic pace which is meaningful in a way that captures the effect of somebody recalling their life story - made up of the important details and traumatic moments - though occasionally making it difficult to capture and appreciate the passage of time bordering on surreal. The supporting characters similarly are raw and identifiable foils though lacking in the depth required to be whole characters beyond their interactions with the film's lead. Furthermore the film does little to address or contextualize its setting, deliberately choosing to focus on the internal struggles of it's central character. Despite this the films central character is compelling enough to keep the viewer engaged solely in his development throughout the film. Overall Farming is an impressive directorial debut that tackles issues of dual identity and self-hatred in a manner that leaves plenty unsaid but provides a bitter and frequently heartbreaking account of an individuals struggle for meaning and identity. There is so much to be admired about this film which presents an often overlooked period in British history, the importance of such a personal topic deserving of a greater run-time than the films mere 107 minutes. | positive |
amazing film must see | positive |
Good series. . I really like this show. All the characters are great and I enjoy watching. Hope it stay around for more seasons. Looking forward to the next season!!! | positive |
Working from a script by playwright Darci Picoult, Dosunmu fashions a tale that’s realistic, melodramatic and culturally specific (we spend as much time ogling colorfully patterned dresses as we do admiring Gurira’s endlessly expressive face), yet unmistakably archetypal. | positive |
Great movie! | positive |
No words to describe the power of this movie and its reminder of how fortunate it is to have never lived through a civil war. Extraordinary story telling of tragic, recent Nigerian history and the humanity within it all. | positive |
Beautiful | positive |
Rational representation of the Igbos. . . . Lion heart represented what it really means to be Igbo - hard-working and communal system of living. | positive |
There is a lot of mediocre acting here and there and some things made little to no sense for me but overall i did enjoy it for what it is. I would probably not watch it ever again but seeing it once is nice. | positive |
While the themes here are, of course, redolent of neorealism, the filmmakers don’t make ostentatious nods to cinema past. Their voice is their own; the camera is mobile when it needs to be, but stands still much of the time, letting the excellent cast build their characters as the events of the film test their endurance. | positive |
Funny Funny Funny. . . . Oh mehn, this movie is super funny. if you are looking for a movie to lift your mood up then this is the right movie for you. | positive |
Superb movie!!. . This has got to be the best made movie to come out of Nigeria, not to mention hilariously funny! | positive |
BEAUTIFUL AFRICAN WOMEN | positive |
I don't know on what basis people have given this movie such a low rating but believe me after a long time I've a watched such a good, cute, clean and better than Bollywood movie. | positive |
The picture quality of this movie is great, and the director did a good job. | positive |
Outstanding performance. . . . Temi Otedola's performance was truly stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed the layers that the story had and the way that each key piece of information was revealed. | positive |
A Major Step in taking back our narrative. . . . This movie, has really showed a deep side of the struggles of the people we often ignore. Easy to see a person to judge, but when stories like these are told you start to look at everyone with a different lens. The ending, though abrupt keeps you in a limbo and holds you in a powerful suspense pondering on what you just witnessed. | positive |
Spot On!!! 🔥🔥🔥. . Definitely African movie of the year, enjoyed every minute of the 2hours 30minutes 😀👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✔✌ | positive |
A rare story about the values of family from a very distinctive perspective. Eloquently interpreted with perfect casting | positive |
Finally a great Nigerian film. For years I’ve been hoping that Nigeria would produce a really great film, and that’s where the Esiri brothers come in. | positive |
Honestly this movie is really good production wise and the sequel. Chills from top notch acting. | positive |
Hardly was there a period of 5 minute in this movie with nothing to smile, chuckle or laugh about. I don't think there is a Nigerian movie that beats this in it's genre (Fictional Comedy). The movie effects were as well commendable. | positive |
Good Nollywood romantic comedy. . This movie is exactly cheesy enough to make you smile after a bad day. | 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 |
The story starts a bit slow but stick with it. Very good story. | positive |
King of Boys. . . . This series is absolutely fantastic, from the story line to the cast, costumes and the emotion portrayed by the protagonist. I'm sure proud to be a Nigerian at this time. Well done Kemi Adetiba, well done Sola Sobowale! | positive |
A must see for everyone. . . . Namaste wahala is a masterpiece and officially a cross between cultures. This Nollywood Bollywood collaboration have everything in a good romantic movie should have, the indian actors weré all great and played their roles perfectly. | positive |
Realistic, entertaining and all round good vibes. I could watch it all day. I wish they would air more than once a week though, asides from that, its just great. Most reality shows come off as scripted but not this one. | positive |
On a Nollywood scale I'll give this movie an 9 because of it's unique storyline and excellent production which sets it aside from other Nigerian movies | positive |
Good story line. . . . It's a good movie and storyline. Loved it. | positive |
Speechless;. . . . This movie gave me goose bumps I connected in a way that literally tore my soul. Indeed depicted God the way and manner it should God bless the writer, producers and all involved. The actors too are top top everyone did a fantastic job. | positive |
I enjoyed the relationship crafted between Mr. Tayo (Bimbo Manuel) and Ejiro (RMD), | positive |
One thing I like about the movie is the way the story was told and the ways the actors interpreted it. The writers, directors and cinematographers deserve an applaud for this effort. | positive |
Best Christian Movie!!!. . . . I love this movie! It's so well done - The acting was awesome and the storyline was refreshing. Kudos to the entire cast and crew! Definitely a must-watch!. . . . P. S. You'll need tissues. | positive |
Love it!. . I love the movie, the actors , the director etc. Everyone absolutely made it great with their acting skill. . . . Anyone who finds it bad doesn't clearly know a good movie, and possibly can't relate with our cultures. | positive |
Awesome. . . . The movie was awesome with beautiful characters. I love seeing Bisola in movies, she's good. | positive |
Beautiful acting, beautiful directing, not so great story. . I had to open an account just to review this movie. This is a beautiful work of art.. . | positive |
Interesting. . . . I really enjoyed this movie. The acting and story line was really good. I found it to be very interesting to wonder about Ishi's life - this for sure is an eye opener to so many who are forced into marriage. | positive |
Gabriel Afolayan is in a class of his own as an actor; he always understands the task. | positive |
Not as Bad as reviewed. | positive |
Great film and great action. . . . Great story original great action and great comedy all combined in one. Thrilling film and great cast. | positive |
A well-acted, finely wrought epic that nevertheless struggles to balance the requirements of melodrama with its drive to capture a historical moment. | positive |
Awesome. . . . The first time I saw this movie I was blown away. I don't want to sound crazy but I try to study things of this world. I hope to see a second installment with the same characters and a darker plot. | positive |
Amazing. . I'd of normally flicked past this, but honestly it's an amazing story. You can tell it had a low budget, but the direction and screen play is fantastic! The choreography of the fight scenes lacked a little. Worth a watch definitely | positive |
Engrossing tale of family and war. . . . I recommend this movie without reservation. | positive |
Wow. . . . This movie really made me change my relationship for the best. Great movie. The movie did start off slow but it definitely kept me interested. The flash backs really made the ending even more intense because everything came together. | positive |
People will never learn if they don't even try.. . . . This movie tackles so many issues including the biggest one of all. Identity Crisis in Black men. | positive |
Through an economy of exposition, Eyimofe, (translated as “This is My Desire”) delivers a timeless, universal portrait of human resilience while establishing Arie and Chuko as a welcome new addition to the filmmaking brood. | positive |
it is a great movie from someone whom we know to be a great storyteller. Gold Statue may not be one of Tade Ogidan’s best works, but it ranks high up there | positive |
Nice movie. . . . Great story line. It was worth watching. I certainly would recommend watching it. | positive |
This was fun to watch. . . . The Delivery Boy is very refreshing, a beautiful story, told brilliantly. You should see it! | positive |
This show should have 5 seasons!!!!. . . . This show was so interesting and entertaining. If the real Caliphate has a problem with it. Change or abbreviate the name, abeg. Great cast!!! Great writing!!! Great visuals. :) | positive |
Great movie. . . . I cannot for the life of me understand the low reviews for such a remarkable film. This series was so good that I binged the entire series as a Medical Student. Great work and thumbs up to the producer and casts. | positive |
The production was great a d light years ahead of most of the sub-par movies of African cinema. This movie is truly a great step in the right direction for Afican cinema. | positive |
Entertaining live concert featuring lively arrangements of jazz and pop standards and an excellent orchestra | positive |
This return of the king is glorious. | positive |
Great job!! | positive |
Well crafted, highly personal story told with superb acting | positive |
Still one of the Best Nigerian films of 2017. . Isoken is a great film showcasing the culture of the area of the country. The layout, filming, colors and dressing tell much of the tradition quite well. The film has quite a good inject of laughter and great acting.. . | positive |
Great watch. . . . Great movie! I enjoyed the fact that they promoted the Igbo language! | positive |
Hand-held camera chases, emotionally fraught close-ups, arresting compositions and a script that gives a familiar story a distinctly African flavor make "Òlòtūré" a thriller you not only endure but marvel over and embrace. | positive |
You need to watch this!!!!!. . . . A must watch!!! I'm in love with the character The plot Literally everything | positive |
fantastic movie | positive |
I love you - I have a baby… | positive |
A great piece of work by Kemi Adetiba, the story was well scripted, good cinematography, all actors gave a great performance. This is a world class movie... Kudos to the all the crews | positive |
Powerful film of a totally forgotten episode in history; not for the faint of heart. | positive |
Great film - entertained and educated | positive |
serious drama with subtle comedy, my type | positive |
Wow, this true story! Wow! Amazing. . . . Wow this story! The many many many stories of the Black experience throughout the African diaspora, and throughout generations. I am so glad our Brotha shared his story and got to write, direct, star in. And Damson wow, his acting is always amazing. | positive |
Impressive & funny how they portrayed both cultures. I was entertained all through! Clean cut production. | positive |
Excellent delivery. . . . The movie is a wonderful delivery of the sexual assaults on university female student by some lecturer. It passes the message in a simple unsuspecting manner. Unpredictable end however, a few forgivable misses | positive |
Amazing. . . . Loved the display if pure culture even in the music. Great to see the people who made me watch nollywood movies again. All round thrilling and very funny.. | positive |
Fantastic Series from Nigeria. . . . I love this series. Great scenery. Fantastic acting. Everybody was giving their A game. The jokes were natural and very relatable. It was educative as well. | positive |
Hits the right note. . The language is Street, the cast stellar, cinematography and editing is on point. It also has a great plot. Best of all it puts Ajegunle on the map. | positive |
New Pandemic that could happen again!. . . . It's a a brilliant movie and very realistic about what really happened. It's better than the movie Contagion in my book. It really hit close to home for me. It's one of the first serious pandemic in my lifetime. I would really like to purchase this movie on DVD and I've been look in the US but to no avail. Can someone tell me how? Thanks | positive |
How does a movie with this subject matter wind up being this slow and boring? Where is the urgency? Where is the suspense and tension? The editing and the pacing drove me nuts and there's just no way this thing needed to be nearly two and half hours long. And that's really a shame because it highlights a really big and important problem, I just wish it did so without putting the audience to sleep. | positive |
Lionheart is such a beautiful movie👏. . . . This movie is the best Nollywood movie I've seen so far. Every scene was precise, beautiful and with a touch of humour and a moral lesson. I like that Nigeria was well represented. | positive |
Season 2. . . . I loved Season 1 and I could hardly wait for Season 2. I like all the characters. So hopefully you'll keep bringing on the new Series. | positive |
