When it comes to Genny, Just forget it! She is simply the best in the game! Most of the others (not all though) dey do too much gragra for wetin them no Sabi!

Shout out to the likes of Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Stephanie Linus, Nse Ekpe Etim, Funke Akindele, Omoni Oboli, Mo Abudu, Omotola Jelade, Uche Jumbo, Ini Edo, Monalisa Chinda, and a few others!
Will bring the (few) men's list if need be!

But truth be told, the ladies in the movie industry are the people pushing Nollywood of today beyond borders! No be joke! The men are trying but women are in a different league all together!

Most of the men now see it as the shortest route to becoming politicians, governors, etc while a good number of the ladies do it for the passion! And there is more progress and profitability in following your passion and talent with hardwork!

Congrats to Genevieve once more! She is just bae!

I will see this movie anyhow e wan take be! The trailer alone was something else. An amazing work! I have been following it on social media and the testimonies are not in any way different from what the OP stated.
To the extent that most people who have seen the movie kept saying that they will see it again and again and again and that it hasn't gotten the hype that it really deserves!

On the list of movies to be seen this season first with a wide margin is "Lionheart" by Genevieve Nnaji, Second is Chief Daddy by Mo Abudu (Ebonylife) and the third is "Heaven on My Mind" by Uche Jumbo and Ini Edo)!

These women are making Nigeria/Nollywood/Africa proud!
Genevieve Nnaji in the global sense having conquered Nigeria.

Mo Abudu and Omotola Jelade breaking through Nigeria and Africa, and headed towards the global space.

Uche Jumbo, Omoni Oboli, Rita Dominic, Stephanie Linus, Nse Etim, Funke Akindele, Ini Edo, etc! still making Nigeria and Africa proud! And I believe that the Global space shall be their play ground soon!

I agree with you but know that women factor plays a role here. By that I mean, they have their way of getting funding than their male counterparts.

Nahh, there was lot of room for improvement. Kemi Adetiba showed quite some feminism in the movie. The main acting that stood out was that of Sola Sobowale and the Police Officer, the rest were normal. The movie was way too long (poor editing). Smoke in an interrogation room, was that realistic? I admire her creativity especially with the concept of an underground criminal mafia and wrestle for power. She did way better than many others.

Nice review!....but I'm not at all surprised it is a very good movie since Netflix bought the rights before it showed af the film festival.

Hahahahaa! Lol! You funny Shaa!
While what you said is the truth, their are still some of the ladies in the industry who fund their projects in genuine and direct ways which the men too can do but many of them (men) have chosen the fasttrack of making more money by diverting from good acting, quality production and directing to cheap political handouts and finally becoming politicians...

Their are very hardworking actresses/women filmmakers in Nollywood. Not all of them are into nonsense and rubbish deals!
The thing is that most of the men in the industry now see the industry as a means of jumping straight into politics and it's really pathetic as many of them don't even have a clue of what good governance is all about but just want to enter into politics to eat their own share of the "fraudulent" national cake!

It's an open world and I believe that men can do far better than women in Nollywood but the men (most of them not all) are too docile and care less about the industry but rather would care about their personal pockets in the political scene and then they will abandon the movie industry. Too Bad!

Lol exactly.

@the bolded, that's my main reason of giving it such a high rating. The fact that she broke away from the status quo, taking the bar much higher and sort of made people who otherwise wouldn't have any reason to do nollywood at the cinemas, have a rethink is worthy of applause.
I myself noticed a few errors in the movie as well, mostly editing/continuity errors which were overlooked but still, a great movie it is.
