| "One of Nollywood's Best Movies Thus Far. . . . And, unlike the typical Nollywood classics I dreaded so much, which ended in the climax, and offering no resolutions, ""93 Days"" has a really good resolution." positive | |
| Charming and unusual in its cultural mix. . . . Above all it made me want to visit Lagos. This is a preview of a world I want to live in. If Nigerians and Indians can overcome their cultural differences, so can we all. positive | |
| Nice Movie. . . . Can it be better. Hell yeah But as one of the pioneer sci-fi movies, it was good. The messaging was apt & the lapses in some scenes understable per the end of the movie. It's cool.. . . . Really didn't know what to expect.. . . . Would watch more stuff in this genre from Naija. positive | |
| I liked it a lot better than I tot I would. Especially the (rather timid, by Hollywood standard) sex scenes. There were, however, some part of the book I wish made to it to the movie - especially the part abt the braided head in the train from Kano bit. Oh, Kanene was exactly like how I picture Chimamanda is in real life positive | |
| Told with raw emotion and lurid violence, it transforms elements of his life story into a disturbing, eye-opening coming of age drama. positive | |
| "Nollywoody producing fantastic works, which seemed to be just another sugar water romance a la ""Romeo and Juliet.""" positive | |
| Refreshingly good movie. . . . I enjoyed the layers in the plot of the movie and the honest critique of Africa's wealthy politicians & affluent families. positive | |
| Absolutely Stunning. . . . This movie is amazing. If you like the subject matter you will love this movie! positive | |
| A feel good movie.. . . . It's a Iight great watch. Not heavy and quite funny without seeming to! positive | |
| I Enjoyed it. . Every single scene was fun to see. The plot was amazing, I never saw it coming that the Lady prostitute could do that 4 him. Watch it! positive | |
| Great movie, I really enjoyed how it criticised the wealthy and powerful's shortcomings instead of glorifying their existence. positive | |
| Amazing. . . . The storyline is quiet interésting, 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 | |
| This is the nollywood evolution. . . . This is arguably my best Nigeria movie for year 2019. I cannot find any misplaced in this movie, perfectly executed, simple and so informative about our society n thought provoking on career part for our children positive | |
| The costume designers understood the assignment and brought all to the table. . . It is the kind of synergy and excellence we have clamoured for in Nollywood. positive | |
| Fun to watch. . . . Enjoyed watching this movie. Love the perspective of the writer and the visuals. Appreciate that it wasn't the typical Nollywood movie. positive | |
| A must watch. . . . Fantastic documentary, funny and emotional - strikes excellent balance between buddy's internal struggle and charms of nollywood. positive | |
| Petition for a second season. . ❤❤❤❤❤ really loved this show i wish we can have a second season loved it😙😙😙 positive | |
| Great movie. It's a good watch. it was thoughtful and not a lot of forceful acting. It was good. positive | |
| It has a fantansic acting performances lubricated by sublime chemistry amongst actors. positive | |
| Comical and Enjoyable positive | |
| Best movie in 2021 so far. . Though I didn't really understand the yoruba parts but I really enjoyed the part I did understand. positive | |
| A lovely movie to see.. . . . Yeaa, strain is indeed a lovely movie. I enjoyed it, it brought tear to my eyes towards the end maybe cos I'm AS and the dude I loved too is AS. So we had to call it a quit.. . . . I could really relate to it because, I saw the picture of what would happen if I go ahead with the relationship.. . . . However, the only challenge for me despite the lovely story line was the actors that played the parental role, for God sake, they didn't put life to the act at allllll.. . . . The beards was off for me, cos there wasn't a need for it, it looked fake. The mother didn't put emotions as well, if Zainab Balogun had played that role, dammit, would have been the bomb. Though, she could have tried to be better.. . . . Also, the part that really got me laughing hard was when she went to apologize to her daughter. The way she said 'I'm sorry' and ran away was was epic. 🤣🤣🤣 Typical Nigerian mothers, having difficulties saying sorry.. . . . The Doctor played a beautiful role, not the regular we are made to watch.. . . . Asides all these, I enjoyed the movie, rating it 8/10 that's why I added it to my list for friends weekend watch. positive | |
| Its not perfect but it was a nice surprise positive | |
| The actors in Mama Drama gave a great performance, so much so that you would believe they are experiencing all the pain, joy, and every emotion in the movie. positive | |
| The most visually arresting drama of 2013, and certainly one of the year’s best films. positive | |
| Beats my imagination!. . . . Amazing content and story line. One of those movies you'll want to watch over and over again. A new dawn for Nollywood! Kudos to the team!!! positive | |
| Salute to Kemi Adetiba and everyone who worked on this great movie.. . This is by far the best movie to come out of Naija in a long time. positive | |
| Lionheart. . . . Best movie for me. The comedy was spot on. Nkem owoh killed it and Genevieve just made the awesome positive | |
| Film showcases a dynamic look at Nigeria from the lenses of a progressive female protagonist navigating her way through a male dominated business culture. The characters particularly the Uncle are funny and engaging. positive | |
| Excellent Realistic Drama. . . . The story excellently showcase Nigerians realities. Message worthy of the efforts put into it. Excellent casting! & you will surely love the ending. positive | |
| Compelling and captivating! Beautiful colors and powerful performances. Camera angles invite you into every scene till the very end. Bravo for first shot! positive | |
| Super Cute Romantic Comedy. . This movie was really fun, funny, and beautifully filmed. I really liked it, and the clothing and style was quite extra. I highly recommend it. positive | |
| I thought this was an excellent film and the actors and actresses did an excellent job. positive | |
| "Those negative reviews for this movie are a joke. People need to leave their personal feelings and viewpoints out of it when they are reviewing a movie. And those petty enough to call the director out as a ""liar,"" claiming ""this never happened"" nonsense is equally ridiculous; it's a movie, created to entertain and or educate. Who cares if it's fact or fiction? The people with this complaint probably believe that Hollywood trash like ""Pearl Harbor"" is not mostly fiction. On to the technical aspects of this movie, (something that actually matters), ""Farming"" is a beautifully, artfully shot slice of eye candy, which is ironic considering the grotesquely ugly themes of this difficult movie. Kate Beckinsale is utterly believable as the Cockney speaking Londoner who brings extra cash into the house by raising the Nigerian children left in her care by parents who don't have the means to raise them. Growing up in a completely White surrounding, where most everyone seems to be at least a little racist, and sometimes intensely racist against the people who's skin color is the same as young Enitan, the Nigerian boy, thrust into this alien world where everyone looks different from him. This film is basically about self identity, and how our surroundings and upbringing shape the person we become, and how our minds work. So although Enitan is Black, he grows up like his peers, despising people with black skin. What an insane and unique theme for a film..FINALLY something different. When Enitan joins up with the skinhead gang who had been torturing him, things become quite intense indeed. He calls himself Andy and shaves off his offending afro, so desperate to be among the people he relates to, even as they hate him and abuse him to no end. Movies about skinhead culture are rare, maybe one appears every 10 years or so. This one stands out with the best of them, including ""This Is England,"" ""Romper Stomper,"" and is especially similar in tone to ""Made In Britain"" with Tim Roth. Also worthy of praise is the acting in ""Farming,"" as everyone turns in intensely believable performances. John Dagleish gives an especially ferocious performance as 'Levi,' the leader of the Tilbury skinheads, and Damson Idris' portrayal of the tortured, self loathing Enitan is brave and faultless. This movie is destined for cult status as it finds it's right audience. Those pathetic 1 star reviews prove that this film reached the wrong audience. Oh well, ""Blade Runner"" was also a flop when it first came out, so only time will tell. I recommend ""Farming"" to fans of edgy cinema that doesn't shy away from uncomfortable scenarios, and also to those interested in the Skinhead youth culture of the 70's and 80's. Similar to ""The Krays"" and ""Legend,"" thankfully this is also a British production, so it manages to avoid the sappy, moralizing and PC garbage that Hollywood feels the need to inject into it's productions." positive | |
| Told with raw emotion and lurid violence, it transforms elements of his life story into a disturbing, eye-opening coming of age drama positive | |
| A great watch. . Doctor Lanre is a well written movie, captures our different characters and kept me glued to my screen until the last minute. I great watch for everyone, young or old, married or single. I will be looking out for other reviews. 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 | |
| Loved it. think they almost lost the plot in the end. Loved the whole myth and mystery thing going on, Love the other language spoken, not sure what it is, but it sounds cool positive | |
| Beyond a movie, best ever, so much depth. . . . One of the best movies ever.. . . . So much depth on life, living, grief, faith, doubt, fear, winning, failing and hope.. . . . I actually cried! For someone like me to cry, it must be seriousssss😌😅. . . . Congratulations to the team, you created something truly spectacular! positive | |
| "Loved it!. . . . A wonderfully refreshing movie with humor and great acting. Could enjoy without ever having to ""fasing!" positive | |
| I love this show!. . I had a great time binge-watching the show. Can't wait for season 2.! positive | |
| Better than days of our live. . . . Well written, acted, directed. Awesome soap opera about big boys in Nigeria. This is among my favorite series or productions out of Nigeria. Well done and enjoy! positive | |
| Improving at a fast pace. . . . There is room for improvement, but well done! positive | |
| 5 scenes in.... Love it positive | |
| GREAT MOVIE: The very best this year 2020.. . . . The characters weré real and brutally compelling. The idea that the skin head gang werén't portrayed in true light is flawed and in no way detracts from how good this movie really is. Dramatization as a function of theater was a bit exaggerated or twisted to buttress the rawness of the story and that's excusable. positive | |
| The movie had a very strong and compelling story line, with the lives and struggles of the characters touch so close the realities of many people in the audience.. . . . The acting was very good and the choice of locations was perfect. positive | |
| This is not a fable of assimilation or alienation, but rather the keenly observed story of two people seeking guidance in painful and complicated circumstances. positive | |
| Beautiful Love story. . . . This film is Hot like fire. i am so in love with it. I can't wait to watch it again. The love is so good. I am proud of Nigerian movies. positive | |
| Oh my God!!! I had to pause KOB to write to this comment. You're such a wonderful writer. The movie is a mind blowing one and eye opener. Mo positive | |
| Please let there be a Season 3. . I truly enjoyed the accidental find! I wish I could purchase a poster from the opening title.. . I truly, truly enjoy that the show portrays black Nigerian professionals at there best. Something sadly missing from American television.. . . . I'd enjoy a season three. positive | |
| Brilliant movie. . . . From the Ibo cultural point of view a masterpiece. Very different from the lot. I like that some plots differed from the usual African film expectations; where you can predict what will happen next. Kudos Genny!! positive | |
| Thrilling to watch!. . . . If you are Nigerian, then you will understand that this movie is not a cliché, the plot twist was fantastic. This movie moved from the usual Nigerian romcom and focused on suspense which was thrilling to watch and had me glued to the screen from beginning to the end! Well done to the actors, a great job, indeed! positive | |
| Wow the outfits were amazing and sets everything was so colorful I loved it. I love how feminist this was. Isoken stood up for what she believed in and learned to not take shit from anyone her character development was so nice to see. Kevin and Isoken had such amazing chemistry. This was such a vibrant and fun film I really enjoyed it. positive | |
| Good suspense but unnecessarily long. . I would rate the movie as to be a peak standard for Nigerian movies. It has its bit of suspense and great movie visuals. Sola Sobowale is a legendary actress. positive | |
| Recommended!! Superbly entertaining, 'Kasanova' is a goal. Now, the story might not be completely new, but this movie is so crispy and shinny, it feels so fresh to Nollywood like a brand new toy. positive | |
| Fun and deeper than anticipated. . . . A well crafted story and an excellent addition to the new Nollywood wave. positive | |
| An unlikely love story well told. . . . Love the message of the film, and there should be many more like it: We are all people so lets not look at our differences but what unites us. Loved the chemistry between the two main protagonists. positive | |
| The portrait of life that emerges organically from this understated, observant approach makes Eyimofe the rare social realist drama that conveys critique without didacticism and empathy without pity. positive | |
| OK but WAY TOO LONG positive | |
| The movie drags you to the edge of your seat and demands that you pay full attention. positive | |
| These people deserve a whole fucking lot of credit for this movie. The writing is eh. Performances are eh. But so, so hard, and they did it. You have to appreciate that. positive | |
| Cleared season 2.. where's 3?. . . . Was never a fan Naijja films, neither am i a series person, but this has been quite a ride bingeing on a whole season in one day.. . . . Season 3 better be upcoming soon i reckon.. . . . Good on you Naijja ! positive | |
| Refreshingly wonderful.... . FINALLY - a movie shot in Nigeria with international standards. Effortlessly funny and cunning, superior direction and cinematography. Ecclectic, 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 | |
| A Must See - Sons of the Caliphate. . . . I watched Season 1 and 2 on Netflix in the USA. This TV series is excellent. It has everything a viewer could want from Suspense to Romance to Action. Love the actors, script, storyline, culture and location. positive | |
| I have read the book and i thought that the film was brilliant with very strong performances by the main actors. One of the best films I have seen this year with old news footage interwoven with the main story positive | |
| Cute.... . I really liked this simple Nigerian... And the plot twist, it was painful to say the least... Cute... positive | |
| Good comic relief, good past time. . I'll be recommending this to my colleagues and friends. positive | |
| This film is absolutely brilliant!. . . . I'm going to keep this short... This film was excruciatingly painful to watch but it's portrayed brilliantly by everyone involved. positive | |
| Fresh and highly entertaining, 'Who's The Boss' is the kind of Nollywood offering that brings sunshine and joy to our hearts at CinemaPointer because it shows without an iota of doubt that; Nigerians have got real film-making talent and plenty of it. positive | |
| What a masterpiece. . . . I am absolutely going to tell you that lionheart is a great movie which all need to watch on Netflix come 4th January... It's a beautiful story told in a very unique way positive | |

| Excellent movie. . . . I'm very impressed by the movie, the story, the acting and the delivery. Every scene tells a story. I love that. If could have ended in any scene and still had a beautiful ending like it did. Yes, it's that good and educational. positive | |
| Seminal Movie in Nigerian Cinematic History. . . . Living in Bondage the film that marked the start of Nollywood. It is a story of love, betrayal, suffering and redemption. I walked out of the theater strong in faith. And faith in Nigeria is what I have now. positive | |
| A story that needed to be told. . A good interpretaion of a troubled UK - in troubled times - Good performance by Beckinsale - stole the show positive | |
| In an age of COVID-19, there is still worse. Fascinating Movie. positive | |
| The plot was great. Acting was good... Reminisce, anty Shola, Mrs Banky, ma tones etc. Lived in the plot. Saw the movie twice. WOW! positive | |
| "Woefully underrated....and it deserves to be seen.. . . . ""Namaste Wahala"" is a very good film....and I wonder WHY it has a paltry rating of only 5.1 on IMDB. . . . . All in all, it's a very sweet and interesting film" positive | |
| This movie works because of the brilliance and charisma of Pete above all... Genevieve and Nkem did exceptional as expected. positive | |
| Maybe the best movie to come out of Africa in a good while!. . You see Baby Police is GROUND breaking for it's time being. I totally recommend this movie for people who grandma's are dying and have a sense of culture in theré hearts. positive | |

| An Excellent movie. . . . Best movie of the year 💕💕💕I wish it didn't end. positive | |
| My first Nigerian Drama, this drama is more than a differént race movie. The movie also dealt with the abuse that women face even though it was supposed to be a side note. The message came out clear and concise. Absolutely loved this drama. positive | |
| It's worth the while Coming from Nigeria,this the best have seen,keep it up positive | |
| A perfect story!. . . . Amazingly realistic. It depicts the life and story of young Nigerian men living in Lagos. positive | |
| A great film; and was a huge success at the time of release. Films like Glamour Girls put the Nigerian film industry on the map; Nollywood owes this film a lot. positive | |
| Funny, romantic film!. . . . I went into this thinking it wouldn't be that good but I was so engrossed, the whole movie was like a ball of sunshine, it makes you laugh and smile along with the characters! positive | |
| where is season 2. . . . I just watched season 1 and I really enjoyed it. Please do a season 2 positive | |
| Great film. . . . Of course, it's not the best film ever, but it's best than many Hollywood films.. . . . Landscapes are gorgeous, colors are beautiful, story is not that bad. positive | |
| Lot of lessons within a simple simple movie. The story was very good and comforting. positive | |
| This was nice and long but worth it. I thought this thing was very well put together. Way to go Netflix, this deserves a lot praise. positive | |
| A wonderful, interesting and suspenseful movie. Try to figure out where it might go positive | |
| Nigerian New Wave!. . . . Thoroughly enjoyed the film! It was authentic, honest, absurdist, comical & inquisitive in all right ways.. . And I'm looking forward to Abba's next feature! positive | |
| Much needed story on human trafficking. . . . Oloture is an excellent movie that provides a much needed view into human trafficking in Nigeria. Its graphic point of view shots really put you in the seat of women being trafficked. positive | |
| It is an interesting story and enjoyable although it doesn't feel like it is quite complete in its attempt to cover too much ground in to little space positive | |
| A light hearted drama more than a laugh out loud comedy, Lionheart symbolizes Nigerian film reaching a global audience in a big way. positive | |
| Best Nollywood movie. . Cinematography is great. The music score is nice. The casting was done brilliantly. Nothing over the top. positive | |
| Story line on point. . . . Really love the drama, suspense and how the Nigerian culture was portrayed. It flowed really good. Genevieve Nnaji was really spectacular. The court proceedings was very realistic. Not sure why the previous reviewer gave it a 6star. Must have had a bad day. Really enjoyed every bit. Good job team. positive | |
| I really enjoyed and would recommend to any lover of non English language film. positive | |
| Really Good Movie. . This is probably the best Nigerian movie I've ever seen. Definitely a class above your usual light Nollywood stuff. Characters and plot were well developed and realistic. Noah and Dominic were really great in their acting. positive | |
| It's a good movie and everyone need to know what's really going on, what our government is allowing to go on around the world. positive | |
| Damn....so interesting positive | |
| One of the greatest artistic pieces of all time. . . . This film is undeniably one of the greatest movies of our generations. This film plays with the viewers emotions through its entirety and did a fantastic job mixing the different genres the film industry has to offer. Another way to describe this film is that it is a landmark in the industry and offers nothing but innovation. The future is nothing but bright for Nollywood with this films release positive | |
| Excellent storyline. . . . Forget the critics, this is perhaps the best African movies this year. It has the best plotting and acting and to top it all, the best storyline. positive | |
| A devastating. true story, deeply moving yet not sentimental. Outstanding performances namely by Damson Idris. Not an easy ride but more real than most out there. Must see. positive | |
| The 'Set Up' is a step up. A real reach, this movie is some James Bond ish. And for quality; as far as Nollywood goes, 'Set Up' is top of the line. Sterling quality. You will be very proud of Nollywood when you see it. No doubt about that. The 'Set Up' proves that regardless of the troublesome filth swamping Nollywood, there is still great talent there that won't die. This is magnificent quality. Worth every kobo you will spend. We are sure of this, because when the screen closed, rapturous applause erupted. positive | |
| "the best Nigerian Movie in decades. . . . Honestly, this movie brought back great memories and gave me deep thoughts. This is the best movie out of Nigeria in more than a decade. This compares to old Nigerian movie classics. Kudos to Banky W, this man is pure class. I do not watch Nigerian movies because of the ""garbage"" most churn out, but this move right here deserves an Oscar." positive | |
| Beautiful, Captivating, Powerful, Raw. . . . This movie captured the troubles faced by the average Gen Z Nigerian kid. It did not gloss over anything. It left you angry and annoyed at some places. It left you triggered which I think was the point. To force the viewer to live the reality of the characters. I'm happy this story got told. positive | |
| LIONHEART: A Genevieve Nnaji's Love Letter To Nigeria.. . . . She Took The Defunct Nigerian Home Movie Back Home To Enugu, Nigeria. That's BRAVE. It Paid off. positive | |
| Farming is based upon writer / director Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's life as a young Nigerian boy who was fostered to a white working class British family in the 1980's. This was something that occurred frequently from the 1960's - 1980's and became known as farming. The film's main focus is on identity and how this young boy grew up confused and alone with a verbally abusive and casually racist white British mother and traditional conservative Nigerian parents who he only saw every few years. He struggled to accept who he was, forming a strong desire to be white and eventually fell in with a group of abusive and violent skinheads, completely losing his way until tragic and violent events eventually lead him back to the right path and accepting his own identity. I thought this was excellent. Damon Idris is superb in the lead role as someone who is filled with so much hate for himself and others who share his cultural identity yet also hates the new group that have formed around him. It's tense, harrowing and a powerful film and my heart breaks for any children that were put through this system because it must have been a real struggle adjusting to life in Nigeria after spending time growing up on the streets with the white British working class . positive | |
| Mind Blowing Acting By All Actors & Outstanding Picture Quality. . . . I just Watched This Movie and i was Impressed With Almost All the Actors that featured on the movie. The story line is quite interesting and the actors did very very well on the acting. positive | |
| Worth watching. . Set against the backdrop of the 1976 coup attempt in Nigeria this is a good movie. Not much shoot em up but good drama. positive | |
| Heart-felt movie...No frills or thrills, but really enjoyable. positive | |
| The timing of this film must be written in the stars. It is an original twist on a themes of family/ racism / fascism. Profound moments of child craving for a family and intimacy, alongside abusive grooming. It punches you in the stomach. Kudos to the writer/director who worked tirelessly to get the project on screen an the major U.K film funders stayed away from it. He also took the project to Creative England's iFeatures but didn't make the cut... In a way, it works to the writer/directors hand to have a told a bold British story based on a True Story with Hanway films. Watch & Support playing now! positive | |
| Simply relating the narrative of Andrew Dosunmu’s seductive immigrant drama Mother of George would do little to convey the film’s stark, poetic power, much less its extraordinary visual and sonic acumen. positive | |
| With drama and efficiency... Pefect and very sad... positive | |
| Lionheart is a lovely movie that used long shots to show of the scenery quite well. I heartily recommend. positive | |
| Two couples survive the woes of war in Biafra. Film for TV but with a complicated history. The war is not shown to be very bloody. positive | |
| Really deep great film. . . . Amazing film takes you on a roller coaster ride Damson is an amazing actor and smashes this role ......Well Done Ade 👊🏽110% positive | |
| One of the first things that strike you in This Lady Called Life are the vivid colours, they give the movie such a great quality. positive | |
| Excellent movie. . . . Well written, loved the combination of drama and comedy. I have recommended it to friends positive | |
| I appreciate the story and all the intrigue. Sometimes i found angry but the end is beautiful. We have to decide for our life, nobody will do it for us.. . I appreciate the dresses of the actor principal. She is beautiful with her braids - natural is better. positive | |
| Love at war. . . . Two couples survive the woes of war in Biafra. Film for TV but with a complicated history. The war is not shown to be very bloody. positive | |
| It was completely refreshing to watch from start to finish. An intresting deviation from the typical Nollywood movie. Veteran actors Pete Edochie and Nkem Owoh effortlessly show us why they are the best in Nollywood. Genevieve definitely sets a standard for local Nollywood movies with Lions Heart and as for her Directorial debut, someone give her an award! positive | |
| The Wedding Party is something that is actually well-produced and directed. Also, the actors are good and/or appear to be having a good time. positive | |
| A film that simply seeks to raise awareness.. . . . Quality. Entertaining Baffling. Current. The script is interesting and smart. Told in two times where the present is in full screen and the past in cinema mode. A film that simply seeks to raise awareness. A powerful African drama. positive | |
| Well crafted, highly personal story told with superb acting. . . . Definitely worth seeing. positive | |
| Brilliant!. . . . Kemi, your work is outstanding. You just keep absolutely getting better. Can't wait for future productions. Was thoroughly entertained.💃👍 positive | |
| Love it. . . . The movie is great. The storyline is good, Acting not bad at all. . positive | |
| Arie and Chuko Esiri’s film is understated in its attunement to the challenges of trying to escape a stagnant existence positive | |
| It is still a MUST watch movie as it still captures the quintessence of the issue and delivers a clear message. positive | |
| Castle & Castle is a well written dramatic Nollywood series. The characters are multi-dimensional and realistic. As an American, I most enjoyed seeing the legal system in action against the backdrop of the uniqueness of Lagos. positive | |
| Breaded Life is a true Nigerian romantic comedy that will tug at your heartstrings, and you will want to see it again and again. positive | |
| A charming and colorful gem. . . . The cinematography alone with its charming use of detailed colors makes Eyimofe a must watch. The plot is balanced and compelling with barely any cliches and the acting is phenomenal. positive | |
| Nice storyline. . Good movie, nice storyline. I like the fact that actors from different African countries acted in this movie. positive | |
| Not the regular Nigerian movie. . . . Defied all odds. I saw this movie on Amazon Prime. They tried with the plot. To think that I almost didn't see it due to my expectations. I am amazed. positive | |
| Everything about the movie was well thought out, consisting of an Amazing cast who nailed their roles, an original story and top notch videography positive | |
| Great step forward in nollywood story telling, and film making. This movie should set the standard for what nollywood movies should look like going forward. A++ positive | |
| Up North the Movie was superb. . . . This film shows off beautiful aspects of Northern Nigeria particularly Bauchi state. I can't wait to visit with my friends. Thank you for telling a beautiful story! positive | |
| If you love terrible movies you must watch this at least once. The second part is worth a watch as well and features several scenes that easily outdo this chapter in terms of sheer insanity. positive | |
| Old Nollywood at Its Best. . . . This is a simple and well told story with brilliant cinematography. Lionheart is unapologetic in its display of Nigerian culture. The movies also passes several subtle messages of leadership, parental support, strength, perseverance and peace between different tribal groups. positive | |
| Great Movie! A must watch. . . . This movie is a must watch. It amplifies the lifestyle of the wealthy Lagosians, The 1% of the 1%. positive | |
| The onscreen chemistry between Ramsey and Rita is a testament to their skills and legendary status in Nollywood. It is also lovely to see Chidi Mokeme, who we think has been away for too long. positive | |
| Great movie, great acting. would be nice to see a part 2 of it. positive | |
| Painstakingly conceived and teeming with raw, unbridled energy, Eyimofe offers a sumptuous, keen-eyed look at modern Lagosian life. positive | |
| The tone of the film is also unexpectedly lyrical -- like a fairytale, albeit grimmer than Grimm. Unrelieved horror and violence can be enervating, but this film has the benefit of truth, and a message of survival. positive | |
| Outstanding quality and acting.. . . . For a first time director and two times producer of films ,nnaji is heading for greatness. Beautiful film to say the least. And a very calming movie with smiles 😀. A drama movie without drama! She can only get better from here. positive | |
| I just watched this at The Newport Beach Film Festival, and this has got to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. The movie had a good pace with excellent writing & production. positive | |
| Very disturbing but gripping. . . . This was one of the most uncomfortable films I've watched and made me feel quite emotional. I was unfamiliar with 'farming' until this film and thank you to the writer and director for making it free to view during this time of the BLM stuggles 2020. The story drew me in and the characters were well acted and believable. The story was unrelentingly tense throughout. The ending gives no answers to the issues explored in the film but leaves the viewer to grapple with them. Very glad to have watched this and it will stay with me for a while positive | |
| Good movie.... a must watch...waiting for season three positive | |
| a week in the life of nigerians. good stuff. positive | |
| "Forget its old school Nollywood style title, 'Mama Drama' isn't just good. It is more than good. This movie is the real deal - A True Gem: Super fantastic. Super immersive. Absolutely shattering drama. And its story is simple and sick. ""Sick"" as in ""freakishly good"".. . . . While Shaffy Bello stands out majestically; the acting here is generally, all round; Perfect! Honestly, the flawlessness of this flick is indescribable. Even the funny parts feel so real, they are life-like funny. So funny, you will be stumping your feet like you need to run out of your seat.. . . . Yet, 'Mama Drama' is not a comedy. Neither does it pretend to be one. No. Not at all. 'Mama Drama' is drama in its purest sense. It is cogent, potent, thick and concentrated. Absolutely Amazing. Not to be missed." positive | |
| A true and daring eye to human trafficking. . . . This is my 3rd Nollywood movie and I am shocked. Really true, disturbing, unsettling. Some people are writting comments about the ending the cinematography etc, what did you expect? These real life subjects do not have a happy ending and no script. If you wish to see something easy and comforting you should look somewhere else..... positive | |
| Brilliant acting! Thrilling story. . I have watched this movie 3 times now and was not bored for once. Storytelling couldn't be more apt. Acting was so professionally done. A political story told in an interesting way. Trust me on this, u will love it. A must watch by all means! positive | |
| This was a great movie! It accurately depicted the beauty of Nigeria. It also did a great job at showing the Yoruba and Igbo culture in such a positive light. Loved the storyline. positive | |
| A feelgood story the entire family can watch, and Nnaji's performance makes you want to see Adaeze win in the end. positive | |
| Awesome Movie. . Movie was awesome. Protagonist was amazing Storyline was great Choice of music was on point. Casting Great. positive | |
| #LoveCitation. . I should have rated this movie 100% but nothing can be 100% perfect even though the entirety of the movie is close to perfection. Mr kunle Afolayan has never disappointed us for once right from the day's of #irapada,it's always from one level of professionalism to another. Always amazing and giving the best. positive | |
| Good movie positive | |
| Humbling, Heartwarming, Funny, & Empowering positive | |
| This is one of the most striking entries in the 2013 global wave of black cinema, but also admittedly one that poses hurdles to audiences with conventional expectations. 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 | |
| Plot seems boring at first but brilliant movie overall. . . . I would say Road to yesterday is your typical 'Genevieve' movie. Slow- paced, good acting and drama filled. The movie starts out with an obvious quarrel between a couple (played by Genevieve Nnaji & Oris Erhuero) which seemed normal at first, but however dragged on for the better part of the movie (boring at some points). You are left in the dark curious about the cause of the quarrel but this is revealed bit by bit through constant flashbacks, eventually all is left bare and the plot kicks in. Recommended if you are not going to the theater expecting an endless action plot, but rather mature drama. Suitable characters, good plot and overall an interesting movie. positive | |
| Best movie I've ever watched. This guy deserves an Oscar. positive | |
| An Absolute fantastic storyline. . . . This show is not it all what I thought it was going to be. It is 10 times better. The different issues by each of the students and how they collectively group together to work them out, excellent and very positive. I am hoping for a season two positive | |
| LIONHEART brings true cinematic feels in an industry where movies don't always hit that not while showcasing outstanding acting by all characters and cinematography . Kudos to Genevieve nnaji on this masterpiece!!!! positive | |
| Lionheart is not just a good movie that made a dent in a rusty and stagnant Nollywood industry, this is a new beginning from which the young upcoming Nigerian filmmakers and actors know it is possible to put Nigeria on the global map of film. positive | |
| The story line was quite good and didn't take itself too seriously which made it a fun watch, the colours and clothes were wow! The cinematography was incredible, the actors and actresses did a good job. positive | |
| The extremely violent story is based loosely on the childhood experiences of director Adewale. And it is his passion for this project which sets Farming above so many other homegrown movies you will see this year. positive | |
| Worth It!!!. . The plot twist is wowing. Coming from Nollywood, this is an idea portrayed beautifully. Niyi did a wonderful job. Respect that. positive | |
| The storyline of Mama Drama is like a refreshing glass of rare wine, something different and unusual. It pushes the envelope. positive | |
| One of the Best movie from Nigeria so far. . . . A Better family is a movie that I'm very proud of when it comes to Nigerian Nollywood movies. This is a movie that you got to enjoy every bit of it from beginning to the end. It's strong lesson on relationship for both married and singles always blow me away. This movie is a must watch for both married and singles. positive | |
| Just stunning. . . . Such a beautiful movie. Stunning scenes of Africa. A beautiful depiction of an accidental love story with believable characters looking for more in life positive | |
| Well the movie is bad, but the story kept me watching until the end, which a I cannot say for a lot of new big production movies. positive | |
| Good Cinematography. . . . Compelling story with good acting to go with. Sterling performance by the newbie. Cant wait for the next one. positive | |
| This movie was excellent. Nollywood stand up!! positive | |
| "A mild, yet brutal, racial quandried film which can't help but, to me, recall American History X.... Kate brought me here and it was great to see her as a ""regular"" person." positive | |
| I've never before seen a Nollywood film, so I was intrigued as to what director Biyi Bandele's 'Fifty' would be like. As it turns out, it was pretty much an African version of 'Dynasty'! positive | |
| The audience's attachment to and investment in these people lend powerful intimacy to the large scale epic trappings. positive | |
| I liked it, I enjoyed myself, it was not a master piece, but a nice watch. Well done. positive | |
| It is interesting that For Maria is a 2020 movie and is now available on Netflix in 2022. This is an overall excellent Nollywood production, and deserves to be seen by everyone. positive | |
| WARNING YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH THE END OF THE CREDITS THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE AS SOMETHING HAPPENES AT THE END OF THE CREDITS THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE........ positive | |
| I love old movies like this positive | |
| Super Recommended. What a Wawu! We are clapping for you 👏👏👏. . If it's a comedy at all, it's a comedy for intelligent people. One that makes bursting into laughter, a result of your brain being tickled. Exceptional. 🏆 positive | |
| This film was funny, and it would probably been funnier to me if the accents weren't so thick while talking so fast. It was a pleasant flick and I totally enjoyed it. positive | |
| Fantastic. . . . This for me is way better than all the over hyped nollywood wedding party, Chief daddy and what-have-you. The humour wasn't forced, it came about naturally. Fantastic acting and great plot. Really enjoyed it. positive | |
| A movie for weekend relaxation. . It's a good movie to watch with family and friends after a long week. Particularly interesting is the strength of some of the characters as they played their roles. Good job to the director, cast and crew. positive | |
| Simple and creative, beautiful production Nigerian.... . A light comedy, with intelligent and fun dialogues, that veiled humor, charismatic characters, and the seriousness and sobriety of the protagonist enchant... A real mechanics lesson for us, moviegoers and car curiosity, very cute, simple and creative, beautiful production Nigerian... positive | |
| Intriguing watch. . . . Such a brilliant story line. Enjoyed every bit of it It was a beautiful showcase of Northern Nigeria. positive | |
| Very unpredictable movie, the best Nigerian movie in history. Well done Kemi Adetiba and the cast, couldn't tell that most of the actors are not so experienced when watching the movie. Well done!! positive | |
| One of the most difficult films I've ever watched. . Thank you Google for making this a free rental. positive | |
| An excellent short documentary. Definitely worth the watch. positive | |
| Citation is an important window into the gender politics of a culture seemingly very different ìnto our own, but where the nuts-and-bolts sexist dynamics that have oppressed and left women around the world open to abuse remain sadly familiar positive | |
| excellent coming of age story.. . . . I loved this show. I binged it and HOPE there is another season. I work in higher ed and the students depicted are true to form Great combination of comedy and drama. Wisdom made me laugh so hard. He was excellent. the blend of the story lines were great. positive | |
| Compelling story positive | |
| "Recommend, strictly for Baba Suwe's crowd. Because; flamboyantly nonsensical, 'Sugar Rush' is a ""Baba Suwe"" feem. There's simply no art to it - The comedy it offers is terribly predictable and sorely obvious. Lacking in any subtlety or thoughtfulness, this movie was not made for the intellectual viewer. It was made for the mob; that Baba Suwe crowd. 'Sugar Rush' was crafted specifically to please them. Only them. And it worked. It worked spectacularly:. . . . The hall was packed. And from start to finish, this crowd laughed their heads off. From minute to minute, explosions of laughter filled the room. People, violently animated by punchlines; literally tore out of their seats and jerked back furiously, time and time again, seemingly having lost control of their bodies. Visibly drunk with incessant laughter, they laughed hard and coughed out even louder - 'Sugar Rush' wouldn't give them a moment's rest to catch their breaths.. . . . So loud and continuous was the laughter, you could feel the atmosphere vibrating with the fire of their satisfaction. It was amazing to watch. For these people, 'Sugar Rush' was exactly that; A Rush of Sugar. And they loved it beyond description. We can well testify to that. Nevertheless, we hated it. Every single second of it. 'Sugar Rush' was a celebration of The Ridiculous. And it was utterly foolish." positive | |
| Lovely movie... a mix of everything positive | |
| Great acting and love story. . . . 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. positive | |
| I loved it. . . . I love it, Is it the plot? Cinematography? Actors and culture/ language showcasing , Absolutely beautiful. Nollywood to the world. positive | |
| There's a lot to this film--and one that, in some ways, cuts across all cultures. Well worth seeing. positive | |
| I thought it was a traditional action movie. But it has a very good story with meaningful inspiration. It uncovers the competition between weapons and water in Africa. positive | |
| Relatable. . . . This was a very well acted Nollywood film. My experience with previous films from Africa that I've watched haven't been acted well. positive | |
| This movie, My Village People, gives us a very interesting plot twist that has us laughing and giving an applause, and the conflict resolution is well done, in terms of the script and the acting. positive | |
| A movie that anyone can relate too. . . . Had the opportunity of viewing this movie at the Oakland Film Festival and exceeded my expectation. It is very entertaining and kept my eyes glued to the screen. It has great humor. The Giwa sister's relationship is very relatable and you go on a journey with them as they get back on their feet. The music in this movie is really really good as well. It is a family friendly movie that I wish I got to watch with my entire family. positive | |
| The story draws you in so much that you find a bit of yourself in all the characters. positive | |
| All I can think of is the incredible plot twists and how the entire story came together into a stunning finale. positive | |
| Underrated masterpiece. . . . Probably one of the best movies I've seen and is definitely a classic like The Godfather imo definitely is a much watch movie positive | |
| While it's certainly social commentary, Gone Too Far is also a breath of fresh air in the often stifling stable of British sociorealism. positive | |
| Beautiful. . This was a light and absolutely hilarious movie. Good actors and well executed. Makes for a cost relaxed watch positive | |
| Let me quickly drop my thoughts. . . . This movie relates to the current situation of most Nigerian youths, it doesn't matter how you make your money Just be successful that's all. Nice delivery from Gabriel, definitely one of our best actors! positive | |
| Brilliant !. . . . Oloture is raw and pure art ... excellent production excellent acting by the entire cast Sharon Ooja was simply amazing . Oloture is a must watch 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 | |
| Good movie. . . . Both Okon and Bona are excited about the opportunities in London and are quickly shown the racist and selfish realities of living there. Though both are educated and came for educational enrichment, they are exploited and thrust into homelessness, even betrayed by fellow Nigerians living in London. Luckily Bona meets with some compassionate folks who help him and provide shelter, food and companionship. He is also able to help Okon when they happen upon each other in the city. Glad the ending had one of them going back with the goal of enriching and giving back to his homeland. positive | |
| Low-key, low-budget, high-intelligence, this is precisely the kind of film London ought to be producing. positive | |
| Absolutely love it!. . . . I'm usually not psyched about watching Nollywood films but this is definetly one of those you just can't afford to miss especially if you love love. The story was very crafted and the actors portrayed all the emotions in such a beautiful way. It's definitely one you will love to watch over and over again. Well done to everyone involved in the film making process. I was really impressed. positive | |
| A good Nigerian movie. . . . The war in Nigeria is a very regrettable conflict and this film shows us the dark side of the country; it's a good action drama movie. positive | |
| This movie is a bit hard to follow but it is worth the effort. A sort of Romeo and Juliet story set in Nigeria. The parents are like all others wanting only the best for the kids. If you like romantic comedies, pay close attention and you will be rewarded in the end. positive | |
| This movie was recomended to me by my wife. it's a good overal production with some very good acting and production design. positive | |
| I am amazed, a Nigerian movie kept me glued to the screen for 3 hours without missing a beat. This is excellence. I really enjoyed it. Watch out world ! positive | |
| Ms Adetibe assuaged a thirst I had always longed for: Nigeria in all its realness. Politics, religion, poverty, wealth, God-fatherism, entitlement mentality, corruption and then HOPE. Nollywood. . It could be done and She did it! A movie worthy of export!. . . . This is Nigeria!! positive | |
| 76 is an excellent piece of artwork. The quality of the work shows the effect of military consultation that was done, and it demonstrates how Nollywood stands to benefit from consulting professionals in portraying their fields and activities, to give the audience the right type of authentic experience. positive | |
| Indian-Afrika story, new and refressing, unfornutally bad story and acting. positive | |
| Lionheart. . . . Genevieve Nnaji is a seasoned actress and she proves her worth in the industry after 20 years that she is still the best with her directing debut. we only have to say well done ma positive | |
| Really looking forward to season 2. . . . I'm really looking forward to season 2. I was happily surprised by the quality and depth of the stroy and characters! positive | |
| Read movie! Don't understand why this got such a low rating! positive | |
| Good film. . . . With a small budget this film deserve a very good critic.Finally a film with a gay theme without a tragedy. One moving story, with good actors.I recognize problems with edition, and other small Technics problems.But who care about this, when we see a film so full of truth and tenderness??? Sometimes I ask me why films about gay man are sad,dramatic? Why can we have a film with gay thematic without hope? Some scenes for me were really sublime. The story is very sensitive, principally because the plot is about black, gay and poor people. I would like to see more films like this: simple, direct, full of truth, one real story.This story can happen. positive | |
| I found this to be a very good movie. I haven't read the novel on which it's based, but I'd like to. I hope that Bandele turns out more movies. positive | |
| Best Nigerian movie, hands down!. . It was a great movie that showcase our Nigerian culture, loved it! positive | |
| Held my attention. . . . Good show, held your attention, great story line, loved the mystery and drama as well as some comedy. Loved the story line of the Christian life on campus. Hopefully, there's a season 2. Would like to know what happened to the lecturer, and Neo if he got immunity. However, would be good if there's a season 2. positive | |
| This film is done at a slow, steady, believable pace. I was completely drawn into the story and connected with all the actors as if I knew them. positive | |
| Families learning to accept other cultures. positive | |
| Beautiful Story/Script. . . . I enjoy the the storyline The cast played their role well. Felt all the emotions and feels. . . . Definitely worth the watch💯 positive | |
| A Naija Christmas takes us from the idyllic Ikoyi, where everything is calm and high-class, to the bubbling Mushin, where you can be obtained if you don’t stand well. You see the beauty of Lagos at night, when it is well lit. You feel the real Naija Christmas spirit, and you want to share it with others. positive | |
| To say she loves her country this much!! Even Made in Nigeria cars and natural hair dos .lot of details Nnaji positive | |
| One of the best Nollywood movies of the past decade! positive | |
| "Destiny Ekaragha's ""Gone Too Far"" is so London, so Naijia, so Jamaica, and just so hilarious to boot. It had me in stitches, laughing so hard until those stitches opened. Loved the movie's fast paced story-line, catchy sound tracks, brilliant cast, and talented actors" positive | |
| One salutary feature of this sharply observed film is that it does not eel compelled to make Seyi in any way magical: he cannot transcend the sump of addiction and corruption in which he allows himself to sink. positive | |
| The comedy is of a wide spectrum; you will laugh at the events in the movie positive | |
| Nigerian Prince stands out for its setting, making it a welcome addition to the crime movie pantheon. positive | |
| Really Good Movie. . This is probably the best Nigerian movie I've ever seen. Definitely a class above your usual light Nollywood stuff. Characters and plot were well developed and realistic. Noah and Dominic were really great in their acting. positive | |
| I am a Litigator and I am impressed by they work put in, I was held by the storyline and I truly applaud a really impressive piece of work. Well done guys, very well done. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 positive | |
| A must watch. . Beautiful romance movie. I just decided to try it when saw it on Netflix and there was nothing to regret. The songs chosen were really good. positive | |
| In spite of the less than satisfactory parts of Ayinla, the movie, it is an excellent work of art, and Lateef Adedimeji’s less than brilliant performance did not take away from the overall satisfaction derivable. positive | |
| Lionheart is a creative gift, a joyous feet of cast ensemble, potent storyline and qualitative production. From the beautiful lead character, Genevieve Nnaji to Nkem Owoh, we feel the lives of people who maybe different from us,share a unifying tie. positive | |
| What a Movie👐👐👐. . . . What a classic movie. All the casts wEré epic. Suspense, Comedy & words of Wisdom. positive | |
| Lovvveeeee. . . . So relatable! Sad there is only one season. Stayed up til 2am watching this show! positive | |
| This is the beginning of good production. You can do better. Just believe. positive | |
| A really hard watch, but worth watching. positive | |
| Seven reminds me of an American Movie, the Ultimate Gift, with a Nigerian twist, and it achieved its aim. positive | |
| Half of a Yellow Sun strikes an admirable balance between drama and history. positive | |
| Shuki' is one of those movies bent on bringing Nollywood into disrepute. An utterly ridiculous and brazenly foolish contraption. negative | |
| Why was this movie made? negative | |
| Serious performances are non existent in 'African Messiah'. Dialogue is a total wash.. negative | |
| One of the worst Movies I've ever watched negative | |
| This movie is so poorly made, so uninteresting, so far fetched that I can't really say it's worth the time. negative | |
| A puke inducing mess, 'The Ten Virgins' is 109 minutes of indescribable torture. negative | |
| This is.... Aaaahahahaha :) THIS is a joke. negative | |
| “Please, go inside the house, pack your things, and leave this house. NOW!”. . One of the best bad movies I have ever seen. negative | |
| As well-intentioned as it is thoroughly inept, Black November would be a serious contender for year-end worst lists if it weren’t so painfully noble and since negative | |
| Such a dumb film. Hated every single solitary second of it. Horrendous rubbish! negative | |
| Sergeant Tutu' turned out to be an imbecilic drama chuck full of bad acting, plagued by a lack of chemistry, held together by out of place narration and clapped along by ridiculous cartoonish tunes. negative | |
| Sista Sista' is yet another colossal waste of money starring Enyimma Nwigwe, making it two crappy movies he has headlined in one weekend. negative | |
| It's the worst film I've ever seen, the acting is so hammy, just crap, awful and so painful to watch, it's just terrible, it's incredibly dull, I wouldn't watch it again. negative | |
| Overacting dominates the action, making this a tough slog throughout. negative | |
| The production value is a little sloppy negative | |
| Wasn't really a clear plot, didn't make sence and just havingofo a Nigerian man cussing a Jamaican cuss word is not Jamaica?? negative | |
| The movie is a total waste of time and if you're yet to see it, PLEASE DON'T. negative | |
| Wrote better stories at 6years. . . . The storyline is very shallow, i mean she basically ended all her problems by falling in love with a man after selling the narrative of an independent strong woman. I have a feeling Netflix only bought this to paint Nollywood as shallow to the rest of the world. negative | |
| Complete rubbish. negative | |
| The failure at the attempts turns out to be quite funny actually. negative | |
| Very disappointing negative | |
| Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who writes, directs and experienced such 'farming' first-hand, delivers a searing account of the racism these youngsters encountered, before getting horribly bogged down in an over-extended skinhead drama… negative | |

| Slow Drama negative | |
| Absolutely not recommended for sophisticated people. negative | |
| No I will not! Please Nigerian filmmakers, not everything has to be funny. I beg you.. . That was such a let-down guys, such a let-down! negative | |
| A rushed, redemptive montage towards the film’s end is presented as ickily aspirational. negative | |
| This is a story of pain, waiting and hope, but it is sometimes confusing. negative | |
| I appreciate the attempt at efficiency, but without getting some sense of the characters we are dealing with (and their relationship to one another), nothing has any resonance and it's hard to follow what's going on. negative | |
| Not worth anyone's time. . This movie is a disappointment and not worth anyone's time or money. negative | |
| The movie had no redeeming quality. negative | |
| Storyline was poor, plot development and dialogue were equally bad. negative | |
| "Absolute rubbish. . . . I'm always on the hunt for a good Rom Com to watch with my wife. This had a review score over 6, so we gave it a crack. We literally stopped watching it after 10 minutes. Rubbish acting, like cringe worthy acting. I don't know who reviewed this with high scores in the past, but it's not worth the watch. The acting was just ""that bad"". Plus the story, as far as we watched was just terrible, b-grade stuff." negative | |
| The Room by Tommy Wiseau is a much better film than this. negative | |
| A waste of time. . . . A waste of time, the three stars was my way of supporting new stars negative | |
| Heaven's Hell' just isn't interesting. negative | |
| The movie had no subplots that we could follow. negative | |

| The Island' is meaningless, sterile and wacky. negative | |
| You will find it practically impossible to feel any remnant of genuine appreciation for this relentlessly shoddy attempt at copycatting olden days Hollywood thrillers. Bleeding Jesus! negative | |
| Director Biyi Bandele adapted the book, which was superb and gut-wrenching, but the film turns turgid and shies away from showing the true horrors of the war and is the poorer for it. negative | |
| There's little going on in the final product other than good intentions, as Jeta Amata always seems overreaching for the right buttons to push. negative | |

| Worst adaptation ever negative | |
| "Small Chops' is an awesomely stupid movie that is not worth paying premium for. In all fairness this movie should have been gently released on Iroko TV; definitely not in cinema. Following the now well established formula often used by counterfeit movie makers where they employ a flood of ""beloved"" comedians to mask the retardation of their movie and their own complete lack of talent, 'Small Chops' proves for all intents and purposes, to be two movies in one:" negative | |
| Nice try but rather boring. Idia Aisien made it easier to negative | |
| Sad story poorly told. negative | |

| Father of Today' is just too basic to be in cinema. It's not horrible as to be completely unwatchable. It's just too basic. Literally, everything in 'Father of Today' is skin and bones, bear minimum, ground floor basic. The acting is leisurely. Production feels home made. And the story-telling is very amateurish. negative | |

| Not Recommended. Such a dumb movie. Hated every single solitary second of it. Horrendous rubbish!. . . . Doesn't help that the only meaningful part comes at the very end & the soundtrack includes a nod to Great Fela Anikulapo Kuti 🇳🇬. . . . That aside.. . . . Ultimately, 2021's 'The Harder They Fall' is a plainly stupid movie. And it doesn't finish - Part 2 is coming. Íráánu 🤮 negative | |
| Good little movie, not great, but good :) negative | |
| This movie is retarded negative | |
| What Just Happened' is a colossal waste of mo negative | |
| Such a shame. 'The Vendor' is a decadent money grab- A mountain of ridiculousness undeniably built on greed. negative | |
| What a waste of time. . Mediocre at best. negative | |
| this is one of the worst films i’ve seen in a while. negative | |
| Drab and unimaginative! negative | |
| Was there no budget for subtitles?. . There is no list of actors. negative | |
| House of Talents' is a House of Horrors. Terrible acting. negative | |
| problem is it imposes its messages on the view with voice-over and unrealistically and drastically changes in characters' behavior through the film. negative | |
| Terribly disappointed negative | |
| LACKED INDEPTH negative | |
| Worst part is; the desperately annoying music that plays continuously throughout, making dialogue hard-to-hear and in many cases downright inaudible. negative | |
| I could not sit still to watch this movie because it was absolutely trash negative | |
| DONT. . It's really awful. negative | |
| I got 25 minutes in and I couldn't handle it anymore. negative | |
| not recommended for sane people negative | |
| Worst. . It is like pig's potty. Time waste. Useless comedy. Unlogical concept. negative | |
| A story too fragile to convey the supposed disturbance that ruled this doomed romance. negative | |
| I had to quit watching it about half way through. Maybe it got better, but I highly doubt it. negative | |
| Just like its title suggests, 'The Garbage School' proves to be a profound case of Garbage-In = Garbage-Out. negative | |
| So bad, from the actors to the story. I can't believe this film made it to Netflix, either running out of films and looking at Z movies negative | |
| Terrible Plot and Terrible acting negative | |
| Interesting story low level acting and casting negative | |
| However storyline wasn't a 100% realistic , acting was poor and bland, no suspense and no diversifying storylines by the side. negative | |
| Listen, I barely watched this after a randomiser gave it to me. Turns out Nollywood is a thing. negative | |
| a well made and unflinching look at the people who are lost in the madness of crowds. negative | |
| Very disappointed. . Fighting scenes are like a joke. Effects are horrible cz there are none. negative | |
| Horrendous facts...perfervid, heart wrenching story negative | |
| substandard mess. negative | |
| "As far as comedy goes, 'Your Excellency' is a corpse. A freshly deceased corpse, it has only a few spasms of laughs to offer - A quip here and a giggle there, for most part however, it rendered the hall; Graveyard Silent. Its, was a story of gigantic failures; misfire after misfire, scene after scene closed to the tune of hissy echoes rather than ""LOLs""." negative | |
| The movie has an identity crisis. negative | |
| Enitan's trauma is revelled in but for what? Few new truths are learned here. negative | |
| A credible ending could have also changed my rating to a higher one. This one is for the 1980's. negative | |
| REALLY STAINS NOLLYWOOD. . This film is ridiculous with no plot motivation or character development. negative | |
| I guess it was not a comedy?!. . . . The way the shots are made was like it is a comedy movie. negative | |
| Nollywood does the evil-kid-run-amok movie, replacing creepiness, tension and terror with broad comedy, needlessly over-long scenes and general irritation. negative | |
| Extremely terrible negative | |
| Chief Daddy 1 has a weak plot, but some serious laughter that makes up for the poor story. This second coming has zero plot and no laughter at all. negative | |
| Newcomers will be puzzled by the clumsy contextualisation and muddled motivation of characters who, robbed of their inner lives by a clunky script, are left floundering amid the melodrama and speak-the-plot dialogue. negative | |
| Kpali' has nothing. A profoundly useless movie, 'Kpali' is an empty box, literally. A ludicrous and baseless story that needed no telling. negative | |
| This movie was so poorly made that I only got through the first half hour (or so); after trying twice. negative | |
| Despite an intriguing historical setup, '76 struggles to tell a cohesive political story, and loses its thread as the personal subplots overshadow the events of the coup. negative | |
| iT IS NOT BASED ON ANY FACTS negative | |
| It just happens that the good guys are brown skinned, and the bad guys are white skinned. negative | |
| i wanted to watch a bad movie but this shit was CRAZY so many twist and turns, the obvious green screen. Obsessed negative | |
| I was expecting more than it delivered. negative | |
| The sound quality of the movie was not crisp, and that contributed to the less than desirable experience. negative | |
| "Such a shame really. We saw this earlier today, with a small audience of ladies and guys; couples and individuals alike- The irritation in the hall was uniform. So it was that; as we trooped out of the hall, unusually, standing at the door was a lady, we suspect she works for the cinema. She asked everyone together: ""What did you think about the movie?"" And as if rehearsed, the phrases ""Rubbish movie"" and ""Very stupid"" immediately rent the air, echoing from one person to the next. We were not surprised. Because you see, the biggest shame here is that we predicted this would happen." negative | |
| This is so so so so so [...] so bad!!!! negative | |
| The plot is unbelievably bad, and the actors obviously do not comport themselves in a way that suggests they believe in the script. negative | |
| "The Enemy I know' is an extremely lazy concoction. Everything about it is below par - even the ""police woman"" shows the back of her I.D card whilst effecting an arrest - whereas; this is 2019 and ""Aki & Paw Paw"" mistakes such as this are untenable in cinema. Ridiculous!" negative | |
| To summarize the plot, it was leaking like a sieve. negative | |
| They're really sticking with the ham-fisted christian propaganda, just as much as the unnecessarily long takes and terrible audio mixing. negative | |
| Its highlights include; bad acting, shabby story-telling, horrendous make-up and an idiotic story that feels more like badly told gist than a written down story. negative | |
| This is like a high school class project. The story is stereotypical and predictable, and the jokes aren’t funny. negative | |
| A waste of time negative | |
| a basic movie negative | |
| it shows that the producers of 'The Good' are scam artists moonlighting as filmmakers, ensuring poor old Nollywood continues to get a bad wrap in cinema. negative | |
| "After which the short ""play"" occurs Not recommended." negative | |
| Waste of time. . Very misleading. negative | |
| Impossible to see this as anything other than heinous after learning about the real-world suffering this film and its writer have a direct hand in perpetrating. negative | |
| Okay, from the onset, the movie was a disaster. The script is awful, the directing is awful and the actors a so awful. negative | |
| This was bad in so many ways negative | |
| kinda boring and inconsistent. a lot of confusing narratives choices negative | |
| Papa Ajasco comes to cinema in this exceptionally ridiculous and ostentatiously foolish comedy. negative | |
| Though the central performance is impressively raw Farming’s uncompromising bleakness drowns out the fascinating story, making it a far tougher watch than it needs to be negative | |
| The road to mediocrity is paved with good intentions ... negative | |
| I want my time of life back negative | |
| Many times when a movie lacks plot and good acting, it would have some redeeming qualities, but Chief Daddy 2 has none. negative | |
| Amidst shabby production and wobbly acting, 'Dagger' tells an unoriginal story in an unoriginal way, complete with unoriginal twists and turns, so much so it ends up feeling jumbled, broken and antiquated. negative | |
| Started out decent then crashed and burned negative | |
| Real life vs. badly executed. . . . . But it is a shame, that we get something that has a meaning and does depict colonialism as evil and the repurcussions that happen while invading territories negative | |
| The comedy did not slap, and the punchlines were weak and too tepid to elicit laughs from the audience negative | |
| It is probably one of the worst things I have seen in decades, fragmented storyline, completely ridiculous premise and the acting is some of the most painful I've seen. negative | |
| Horrible, waste of resources negative | |
| Such very poor acting so amateur it's amazing they got away with it, when you've got acting that bad it takes away from the movie. Don't waste your time negative | |
| The transitions were awful, score was blatantly bad, story was all over the place negative | |
| So irritating and harrowing was this movie, that when it was finally over negative | |
| "Despite fine performances by Thandie Newton and Chiwetel Ejiofor, the clich-riddled ""Yellow Sun"" burns cold." negative | |
| Trite plot, stiff acting, very bad movie negative | |
| awful rendition of a very good novel negative | |
| Repetitive and dull, 'Kasala' is the ultimate waste of money, energy and time. negative | |
| Waste of time. . I am Jamaican and am displeased that this movie even has the Jamaican flag on the cover. Very misleading. negative | |
| Soppy and touristy.. negative | |
| The acting is bad negative | |
| As anyone who sits through this misguided film will subject themselves to a litany of disgusting racist and sadistic incidents. negative | |
| Lacking in the Christmas spirit, this movie...I have nothing to say actually. It was funny, interesting. negative | |
| "Baby Steps' is not a movie. Literally, ""Crap!""." negative | |
| Only when the protagonists' lives are at stake - and bombs drop - does the piece truly come alive, with a sense of much-needed urgency. negative | |
| Cheesier than Disney; badly made. It looks like it was made it a month for sure and was the best at being mediocre. negative | |
| Only in broad Nollywood comedy mode does it feel truly convincing. negative | |
| The Enemy I know' is a substandard mess. negative | |
| But the sound was not always go negative | |
| It doesn't go wholly wrong all at once, but damned if the filmmakers don't lose the thread and stumble and lurch and pad this thing until their Nollywood film is Bollywood length, without the wit, warmth or content to justify it. negative | |
| "Don't know what kind of shop they're running over there at ""Ebony Life"", but 'Your Excellency' is an embarrassment to their reputation of eminence in production values." negative | |
| Trying to get a grasp on Nollywood but this film is by far the worst so far and does not encourage further digging. negative | |
| Why waste so much money in producing a dull movie like this one. negative | |
| The movie left so much to be desired. negative | |
| Disappointing negative | |
| Not recommended. 'The Eve' is a sore disappointment- Yet another forceful comedy that is not funny negative | |
| I regret watching this movie negative | |
| nothing to write home about negative | |
| Superstar' MOVIE glitterd like crazy but has no carat negative | |
| There Was An Interesting Story Here - This Isn't It negative | |
| Do Not Watch!!!. . . . Honestly this is the most useless movie ever I can't believe I watched something like this!!!!😡 negative | |
| A Rose for Freddie' is a hapless drama that is yet another notch in the string of embarrassments Nollywood keeps sneaking into cinemas. negative | |
| Do what you want negative | |
| And this is not a comedy; yet there are hundreds of examples worse than this. negative | |
| A shame that a film with such a fascinating backstory. negative | |
| This movie is so poorly made, so uninteresting, so far fetched that I can't really say it's worth the time. negative | |
| Disappointing negative | |
| This movie is too typical, too stale, too local & too dumb to be exhibited at a premium. negative | |
| A WASTE OF TIME. . This movie is bad... Very bad. . 😠😠😠😠 negative | |
| Was going to rate it a 7 but..... . With a abrubt ending it destroyed the whole movie. negative | |
| Not a movie. A series of nothing strung together with sanctimonious messaging. negative | |
| Terrible movie.... so sloooooow...... bad acting...and bad dialogue.... negative | |
| Main issue was all of the sexist elements in story, dialogue and camera work. Acting was hit or miss. negative | |
| Starts okay but so disjointed and lousy script the film was a waste of effort negative | |
| if you are a sucker for Yoruba movies (nothing wrong with being one), you have to know that 'Alubarika' is just another run of the mill Yoruba mov negative | |
| Could have been a great movie but muddles along with many scenes rushed as it cuts back and forth between the historical backdrop and the love melodramas negative | |
| utterly, not recommended. negative | |
| "A nauseating soundtrack that is the singing of the title ""Ajibade"" on over & over again - sung by the lead actor, maybe for cost cutting or worse; a consequence of believing friendly lies affirming a non existent musical prowess." negative | |
| I watched this against my will negative | |
| So this is a disjointed mess of a movie. negative | |
| Meh. . Thank God I read the book. This movie version does not do Chimamanda's story justice at all. negative | |
| terrible negative | |
| the film was worse than the room, probably one of the dumbest, worst films I’ve ever seen in my life.. . . . 0 stars (if that was possible) negative | |
| Plagued by everything from terrible story telling to shoddy production to generally very-below average acting. negative | |
| The opening scene is a reminder of the early stages of Nollywood, and not in a good way. negative | |
| It involves an odious acting and terrible story-telling. negative | |
| It's spooky and atmosperic with a slow-creeping dread that doesn't really pay off in the end. negative | |
| The story is one of the most cliché storylines from late 80s and early 90s nonsensical rom-coms which made absolutely no sense whatsoever. negative | |
| "Unlike that one which had no ghosts to boast of, 'Ghost and The Tout Too' doesn't understand that movie-making is rooted in brain-work and not in using cinema to do ""Yahoo"", abusing stardoms to fleece fandoms. Sadly." negative | |
| Poor acting with shallow characters negative | |
| Brain Go Pain You Tire negative | |
| Again and again BIAS BIAS negative | |
| The Worst Music Scoring Ever! negative | |
