Nice to hear Yoruba in a film, but I have watched enough black pain in movies to watch this, I do have a nice Africa fantasy ideas for a movie, our culture especially Yoruba tradition is so rich, parallel to ancient Egyptian, you love it. My grandfather and my Yoruba teacher told me a lot and I have a great memory, this was the early 80s to mid-80s, I was around 8 to12.

Niyola is someone I have always wished got the accolades she deserves. She’s so talented. I hope this brings more attention to her.

Not the Tyler Perry wigs 😭 anyways sha, looking forward to anything Kunle Afolayan puts out 🙏🏾

[yorubaglobal]

This is one of the best Nigerian movie on Netflix. It also show the tradition of the local

[zainz]

Honestly speaking, Mr. Kunle Afolayan, Mr. Teco Benson, Mrs. Kemi Adetiba, and Mr. Lancelot Imaseun, these are the royals of Nigerian film-making. Even if Mr. Teco Benson does not make movies as much anymore. Anyway, their cinematography and story lines are always awesome. I love these guys abeg, more power to your elbows.

I would like to see more west african movies that doesn't always have to showcase trauma like cheating, fraudulent behaviour as the main plot

[biancaihua]

Anything from Kunle Afolayan is a HIT!!!!

[chiamakaamonye]

The book was brilliant. Honestly can’t wait to see how Kunle Afolayan executes it.

[efemenaipoko]

Kunle afolayan always kills it. And i love our African stories, books and writers. well done netflix

[vivianiloabuchi]

Who has read ‘Swallow’? It was a beautiful book!

[Mzlizzy]

It's Anything Kunle Afolayan for me

[D.Dee_]

Kunle Afolayan never disappoints. This is a masterpiece 👏👏👏

[obeeig]

I like the use of new acts by KunleAfo as lead characters. First it was Teni, now Niyola. Nice one!

[itsjemmabond]

I spotted a few historical inaccuracies in the movie. The song "Ifeoma" wasn't released until 1989. The phone that hairdresser had in her office wasn't widely available in 1985 unless you were extremely wealthy, and the train at the train station was from the 00s.

[marionmassaquoi]

I can’t wait, Kunle is doing a great job. Bravo

[hanssolos]

netflix is really good cos it allows many good writers and directors to make movies in their own language and culture.
