Awkward to watch

I didn't hate the film but there wasn't much plot and clearly made on a very low budget.

There are moments where they are filming in public, where passersby are staring right in to the camera which is a big blooper considering it's meant to be a film. The audio frequently dips meaning you can't hear what they are saying. The acting from Okon (Ime Bishop Umoh) is awkward and annoying to watch, with his unnecessary facial expressions. There points where English characters are speaking, but their lines are clearly written by a Nigerian because native Brits would not speak like that. And the majority of the British characters look like they were recruited from a Job centre as they have zero acting skills.

Not sure why I watched the whole thing to be honest.

Breathtakingly nice movie!

I was browsing Netflix one night trying to find a movie or TV show connected to London, as I haven't been there in quite a while and started to miss the streets and urban atmosphere. This came up during the search. At first I was a bit skeptical, as I wasn't exposed to Nigerian cinema before. However, by the end of the movie (brilliantly done by the way), I realised that I witnessed an audio-visual masterpiece. Highly recommend!

Good movie

Both Okon and Bona are excited about the opportunities in London and are quickly shown the racist and selfish realities of living there. Though both are educated and came for educational enrichment, they are exploited and thrust into homelessness, even betrayed by fellow Nigerians living in London. Luckily Bona meets with some compassionate folks who help him and provide shelter, food and companionship. He is also able to help Okon when they happen upon each other in the city. Glad the ending had one of them going back with the goal of enriching and giving back to his homeland.
