Nimbe: The Movie

Nimbe is an enjoyable film even though we've witnessed this story in film many times before. However this is the version by Nigerian film makers. The action and acting is of Latin-American tele novela styly and the language was slightly jarring for me at first but was quickly overcome by the presence of believable characters, although the mother has some odd lines and does occasion act eccentric but this may be a Nigerian trait. All in all I really enjoyed and would recommend to any lover of non English language film.

This movie captured the troubles faced by the average Gen Z Nigerian kid. It did not gloss over anything. It left you sad and annoyed at some places. It left you triggered which I think was the point. To force the viewer to live the reality of the characters. I'm happy this story got told.

This is a premium movie anytime. Tells the tales of our society decay . So sad ! So true!

Nollywood sadly and beautifully producing a portrait of the poverty and violence that surrounds the outskirts of not only Nigeria but the world, and how it increasingly involves our young people, sad, bullying, poverty, social inequality, parental abandonment, gang violence, drugs, through a comedy (but I couldn't laugh with the aggression and dialogue of the couple, tragic)... I love the colorful clothes, Darshiki, and the boy's uniform...
