    Great storyline

    Great storyline, excellent audio and video quality. Production was top notch! Great combination of actors👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿. I like the fact that Lara came off her high horse to know that hard work is golden, not your family wealth. I also admire Dara's resilient spirit.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. We hope to see more.

    A movie for weekend relaxation

    It's a good movie to watch with family and friends after a long week. Particularly interesting is the strength of some of the characters as they played their roles. Good job to the director, cast and crew.

    Fun to watch

    Enjoyed watching this movie. Love the perspective of the writer and the visuals. Appreciate that it wasn't the typical Nollywood movie.

    Fun Nollywood Movie

    I saw this film on the netflix main page in the UK and decided to watch the film. I thought it was a black American film at first but was surprised it was actually a Nigerian film. The story line was quite good and didn't take itself too seriously which made it a fun watch, the colours and clothes were wow! The cinematography was incredible, the actors and actresses did a good job especially Seyi, Big Chi and Somkele, Vector surprisingly was good too. I thought the end was just ok even though it was a happy end with the uche jombo and Uncle Tunde, i felt it could have been stronger. I feel this film raised the bar for the Nigerian film industry and i feel it would surely attract an international audience and portray Nigeria in a different light where it isn't always poverty and 3rd world quantifications we see. Good job to Biola Alabi, the cast and team.I saw this film on the netflix main page in the UK and decided to watch the film.

    Impressive, really talent can fine u out

    Impressive, really shows natural talent coming to salvage a deteriorating fame, specifically caused by a relative( uncle tunde). Thanks for the Senior Giwas who was able to resuscitate his family legacy with her talent.
