Anikulapo

This is a movie that is based on betrayal, has really deep interpretations. It tells how a kings youngest wife fell in love with Saro a bachelor and Saro was sent on exile and died, in order to revive him the kings youngest wife which he loved used mystical powers to bring him back to life and they decided to move to a far away village , where Saro ended up betraying her by been promiscuous just because the kings youngest wife gave him powers to revive dead people, he started reviving dead villagers and felt on top of the world because the queen couldn't bear a child, he started taking wives for himself . Saro ended up betraying her. No regrets watching this .

The movie storyline was good and the cinematography was cool I must say I enjoyed the movie.

From the beginning I was the edge of the till the finish. Bravo to the Nigerian movie industry they are really trying this time and threats every project as if it's the best to come.

Thank you for anukulapo!!

The adage is old. Fate has a weird sense of humor. I enjoy watching this type of movie, showcasing the Yoruba culture undiluted and grandiose. It is spectacular to see the costumes and hair styles and make-up very detailed. The soundtrack also blow me away, it sounds fine tuned to raise and deepen every emotional response as the film progresses. The simple but yet complex living of Africans in this case Yoruba of the old Oyo empire was captured by the directing and plot of the movie. The acting is also very believable, the main character "Saro" gave a very professional act, not to mention the uncredited casts as well. Everyone played their part very well. In essence don't die for nyansh lol.

Anikulapo is a very beautiful, well produced movie. The visuals are great. The production value is very rich, the acting in the movie is very good. The scores and soundtracks, and the very rich display of the Yoruba culture are top notch and one of the best things about the movie. My only issues with the movie is with the story. Although the story is decent, not a bad story but the story is not intriguing enough. The story needed to be as beautiful and captivating as the production value. The story needed more mystery and magic for a fantasy movie. Overall, this is a very produced and directed movie. I hope it gets a sequel or two to complete the story, because it shouldn't end there. I believe the sequel would give the story of Saro and Arolake, the better ending they deserve.

Acting. Special effects. Set and Set design. Audio sync. Dialogue. Costume. Plot.

All these were at their worst. It was a nightmare to sit through. Two hours of cringe and traumatic visuals. A slap on the already disfigured face that is Nollywood. This film does not deserve a national award, much less an Oscar.

The acting was below even the mediocrity that Nollywood is known for. Nostalgia was the director's trump card and it did not work. Instead, it served the purpose of creating a reimagined retro representation of early Nollywood film styles.

A folktale told with clear camera lenses. Poor.
