I was going to watch it but after listening to this review i don't think i will, because it just sounds like yet another nollywood movie investing in everything except good writers

Conflicted about watching the movie after this review 😂 PS: Love the sundress ❤ Is it a smock (can't really see the bottom).

Here to supoort, cheers!

Tried to watch the movie but couldn't go through it. Sorry, not sorry 😅 I guess I'm not artsy enough 😊 On another note: though I had suspected we may be on opposite ends of the values spectrum, I confirmed it today after going catching up on your last give reviews and your unabashed love of this particular movie. But like I pointed out in one of your videos, i love your professinalism. You're smart and know your onions and that's not saying much! Have a great day and I pray you continue growth in your channel. PS: Your reviews are a breath of fresh air!

Here to support, cheers!

Sorry about your health struggles. Trusting you're feeling better now.

I was wondering why you had two uploads of the longer version and saw your pinned comment. I'll watch both versions just for you. Cheers!

I'm conflicted about watching the movie. As contrive as this may sound, I mainly watch movies because of the cast. Once I have a certain perception of an actor, it is hard to watch them in any movie no matter how good the story is! Thank you for a great review (even if I haven't watched and probably wouldn't 😀) as usual. Love your delivery and professionalism!

one of the few times I say ‘Lol’ and mean it😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾Love this review

Merci !

i was so angry for the ending, they fought in the rain and it stopped raining immediately Gaza was killed, was the rain a paid actor?

it's so sad that Nollywood has the ability to tell original stories and over and over the movies that comes out are just a waterdown versions of Hollywood movies that are executed poorly. I felt my intelligence being insulted a lot throughout the movie.

Aren't you a Deppford Wife? 😬 I hope you read the evidence one day and stop defending a rapist.

I stopped watching this at 11:36, maybe I'll come back to finish it later. In summary, if I would make a video review on "Tokunbo" like this, I'll be saying the opposite of everything you have said here so far at 11:36, at least on a scale of 95%.

Great review Pearl!! Very entertaining and true!!

- Amputee stub - pretty sure that was a real amputee because the actual hand cutting scene wasn't great. - Nigerian-ness - this is a thing I didn't give it credit for (but should have) because I think a lot of the film language was not (Thanks Ramsey) - Funlola did have a mic pack at her back 😩 - Stockholm syndrome might fit for Adunni. I just can't give that level of charitability to Ramsey - Voice distortion was really only for us. I think I know what he was trying to do. It was just poorly done. - The Music interlude was hilarious😂😂

Dope review Pearl. 🎬 I watched this review last night but forgot to leave a comment only to wake up this morning to see you left a comment on mine and that’s when I remembered that I didn’t leave a comment. Lol. I’m really glad you mentioned the thing about Tokunbo taking the kid to Seme border. It didn’t sit right with me when I watched it but I guess I let it slide because I felt like perhaps I missed something about it. Anyway, nice one. 👍🏽

Great review 👏

Nice review 👏 👌

FACE CARD ❤❤

Omor...it's annoying. The one wey vex me pass is that first police check point. Just a car or two before Tokunbo's car is to be checked with Nike at the back, he swayed his car into the lone lane in which no car is plying and the police did nothing. Haaaaa

When I noticed the distorted voice goof, I was like I'll see if Pearl will mention this in her review 😁

I listened to space on X the filmmakers organized before the film came out and I became very skeptical when they said the writer of the film is a first time writer. With that though, I think he tried. He will definitely improve with time. However you are right, the story wasn't that great.

The red flag for me was the lack of writing credits in the opening sequence. A lot of effort was put into making the film but they forgot to put that same effort in the script. Classic Nollywood.

I love your reviews 👍👍👍

Dope review Pearl. I loved the movie too. 👍🏾 Fun fact: The little girl at the end of the film is the Director's daughter.

Nice work pea4l

love your review! it's nice to see it from a different POV, my issue with the movie is the stakes aren't believable for me. yes, settling the affairs of the dead can be daunting in Nigeria but the movie is set in the north? she could have easily gotten a marriage certificate or letter of administration from the sharia court of appeal? it's faster and easier than normal courts; 2 days max. it is what it is there for; situations where Muslims are at a disadvantage in a normal court.

the sister-in-law's bump looked like 5 months and she gave birth after the idda so 4 months plus is still plausible, and in the beginning Zainab told her sister she was roughly 3 months+ so that would put her at 8 monthss so that check s out

okay so the iddah( waiting) is four lunar months and ten days but if you are pregnant it is until she gives birth so the duration of her pregnancy as she is still pregnant she hasn't completed her mourning

true! Christian intolerance is usually not talked about or shown and it can be just as dangerous at least in my experience

The movie was too short for me and those i watched it with. Also feel her teaching, motherly role was not explored same as the husband's clergy life and her role as a clergy's wife especially because she implied she didn't like the clergy choice of her husband following her father in law's footsteps.

If I enter this competition now... 😩

I just finished watching it and I immediately came to watch your review. Like my hubby (who is a filmmaker) will say ,even HW makes inexcusable mistakes in film but if your story is gripping enough , it will be barely noticeable. I enjoyed this film so much I was crying. First this story is a breath of fresh air. The pace, character development, dialogue, arc. Korede did an amazing job for someone who has just 2 films under her belt. I totally love it. For the financial resolution, first I don't think it was too convenient. Good things does work out one on top of another for people like that and remember the perspective shift she had about running Qasim's business? Her coldness seems absolutely relatable too I guess and I think it's rooted in the rejection she already got from her own family especially losing her mum before there could be any resolution. I reckon that inspired some sort of stoicism in her. Hence her preaching about him living with his decision to become Muslim. I'm going to go recommend this to other people. It's how much I love it. Sorry, about the asthma , the flu is everywhere I guess. Been struggling a bit myself and my inhaler is out. Been afraid to ask how much it is now. Got the last ones from HMO. Hugs 🫂

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Just watched the movie this weekend and your review. Your attention to details, well planned review, your build up, your use of words. well done sis. You are good at what you do.

UPDATE: I have uploaded another version of this with the background music adjusted. I know this is hard to listen to. Watch that instead. Leaving this up for obvious reasons 😅

Ah, we're on the same side with that love interest 😩😩

You're right about the iddah. I think both what you suspect was the reason and to be a little confused. I think it was set up as x months after your partner dies or after you give birth if pregnant. I think what was missing is 'which one comes later' at the end for clarity

Ah, it seems I have some videos to catch up on. Lucky me 😊

Looool "don't buy suya pepper on Amazon" are wise words. Good yaji is hard to find in obodoyibo 😩😩
