Nice one!

Though the movie was too centered on one family than the extensive details of the 1976 coup, it was a brilliant cinematography and acting from the team, especially Ramsey and Rita.

There was a bitchy character in the movie who also gave me a whole lotta joy. She is damn fineeeee.

A good movie to watch.

All the best to the cast and crew!

AY's 30days in Atlanta has re-ignited some creativity into our industry. And the trend of cinema-worthy movies is going to even make the competition worthwhile. Nollywood fans have been watching garbage for a long time. Where kids (mostly young girls) actually begin to act up the sh!t they see in those wack movies.
It may take me years, but I am on the verge of bringing something novel to this industry.
Congratulations to Mr. Ojukwu and the E.P. Good job

Movie is nice.

Looking forward to watching this movie. At last a good news from naija, hoping for more to come.

nice
