  Eyimofe (This Is My Desire) 2020

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Jul 2021

  It is too perfect.

  Wonderful performance by the cast. I am impressed by the leads.

  Cinematography: I love how Lagos is presented. Colorful, 😍

  The plot: The obvious, This film doesn't use over the " Africa they don't show you" trope which is widely popular currently. Africa is truly a country, the filmmakers show poverty is expensive. It is my favourite depictions of major African city issues eg wealth gaps ( see, the middle-class portrayal), bureaucracy, power cuts, misogyny.

  Hoping this film gets seen a lot on the continent. I will be looking forward to the director's next pieces. Powerful duo.
