Here Love Lies

When we watched the trailer, we were so disappointed as we knew it was going to be another one of those Nollywood lovey-dovey stories... Let's just say that Tope Oshin took us by surprise and outdid herself! We were amazedddd 🤓

DELICIOUS

-The storytelling was quite gripping, starting off with a peek into young Amanda then moving on to adult Amanda (Tope Oshin) The suspense was progressively built up and the mystery revelation even fooled us at the end

-Fantastic job by the makeup and costume design teams who worked hard to pull off stunning looks

-Who knew Tope Oshin could act??? Wow...She gave us classy madame, fragility, strict mommy, gentleness, weakness, and on top of that, there she went unapologetically threatening someone in Pidgin English on the streets of New York🙌

-The cinematography was impressive in Nigeria. There were great camera movements that teased us and accentuated the storytelling

-The editing, again another area that was really engaging

-Something that people may miss in this movie is the powerful underlying message it sent out with the writers intentionally calling us to observe and learn from Amanda

BLAND

-The scuffle toward the end was a bit weakly staged with many segments that left us in disbelief.

Plus, there was a noticeable difference between the film's quality in Nigeria and America

But these shortcomings can be overlooked due to the movie's strong script!
