I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
This is one of the best love. funny, well acted stories I have seen for a while! I love the beautiful black actors, and enjoyed that it is just as good as the typical "Hollywood" made movies!! Also, not a lot of sex, and language to make it good!! Its so nice to see fresh new faces in our culture, that are so talented! I will definitely be looking for these actors and other movies from Nigeria! Also I'll tell others to boost the ratings! Please keep making these movies!
Loved. Loved this film. It's so refreshing to see wonderful love stories coming out of Africa. I am now searching for these actors in other movies.
