Originally Unoriginal
The story has a lovely premise.
But if you're gonna tell a Nigerian story, at least tell it in a Nigerian way.
I couldn't help but notice the undertones of Western culture (and yes, a lot of Nigerian modern lifestyle is influenced by the West,) but to go so far as even patterning the dialogue after Western culture, that's too far.
The breakups and the relationship dynamics broke my last straw.
I love this movie, but as an ardent observer of Western cinema, it feels like a copy.
Whether it is a Nigerian copy of a Western story, or a Western copy of a Nigerian story, sometimes I just can't tell.
