What No One Knows

I've just watched What No One Knows again and I'm still obsessed. It's hands down my favorite film of 2024. I've seen it three times already and I'm watching it again tomorrow -can't get enough. The whole film is beautifully done, but Tope's performance really stood out. So raw and real, you feel every second she's on screen. They did an incredible job with this movie. I seriously hope there's more to come because I'm fully hooked. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it. Trust me-it's worth every minute. One of those rare films that sticks with you for long.. Congratulations.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I think it's only right to begin this review with Tope Laguda, especially after seeing the end credits for the movie. Tope delivers a powerhouse performance in What No One Knows, seamlessly balancing her roles as lead actress, writer, and director. Her portrayal is deeply compelling, drawing the audience into the film's gripping narrative with raw emotion and intensity. It's no small feat to wear so many hats in a production, but Tope executes each role with remarkable finesse.

The film is further elevated by a stellar cast. Mofe Duncan brings charisma and depth to his character, making every scene he's in memorable. Adunni Ade shines in this film with her captivating screen presence, while Enyinna Nwigwe delivers a performance that is both powerful and nuanced. Damilola Ogunsi adds weight to the story with his commanding presence, and special praise goes to Layo Laguda, whose impressive debut proves she's one to watch in the industry.

Beyond the performances, What No One Knows is a testament to masterful storytelling and top-notch production. The film's suspenseful pacing keeps viewers on edge, while the cinematography and direction create an immersive experience. The plot twists are well-executed, ensuring that audiences remain engaged from start to finish and the locations were simply breath taking. Besides a few errors common with even some of the biggest productions, the producers deserve credit for their attention to detail.

A huge shout-out to producers Tope and Leke Laguda for bringing this vision to life. Their dedication to crafting a high-quality drama is evident in every aspect of the film. What No One Knows isn't just another drama-it's a beautifully made, emotionally charged experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

A must-watch for fans of smart, well-executed storytelling.

What No One Knows was a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. It kept me glued to the screen throughout, trying (and failing) to predict the course of events.

The funeral scene with young Yomi was incredibly moving. Very well acted and almost impossible to believe that WNOK was her debut acting role.

Gripping story and excellent acting throughout. Definitely worth the watch! The ending was unpredictable (unlike most Nollywood movies these days). It left me with a feeling of satisfaction, having enjoyed a brilliantly written, entertaining and well acted bit of entertainment for a change.

I ventured into Curzon Soho over the May bank holiday for the special screening of @whatnononeknowsthemovie. As a closet movie critic, I came with an open mind and was blown away. Amazing quality of the plot, subplots, flashbacks, character arcs, and cinematography. I grew up on movies including a bold and original storytelling from the likes of Lola Fani-Kayode and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Top notch transitions of scenes stood out, smoothly moving the storyline along from young to older protagonists. The entire cast brought their A Game to a story that surely resonates with anyone having strong family values and longing for loyalty. #WNOK #TeamOriyomi #TeamIfeolu #SoConflicted At the post-screening Q&A, the passion of both co-producers was evident to us. Well deserved 10 stars.

@Netflixfilm @Amazonmgmstudios kindly help tell this the story all over the world!

What No One Knows is an absolute masterpiece!

I didn't get to watch at the premier ( I was absolutely looking forward to it then) but I am glad I had the opportunity to stream it.

This movie is more than just a film-it's an experience. The storytelling is so powerful, filled with deep lessons that leave you reflecting long after the credits roll. Every single actor gave their all.

The performances were flawless, raw, and breathtaking. The music..Pure magic!. The locations..Stunning and immersive.

I strongly recommend for all to see. There are so many lessons to be learnt. I didn't want it to finish but I absolutely love how the end of the movie turned out regardless.
