House of Ga'a

I think this is one of the best epic movies ever made. All the actors were a good pick for their role. Especially the lead actor Femi Branch.

House of Ga'a is a gripping historical drama that transports viewers back to the 18th century Oyo Empire. Directed by the brilliant Bolanle Austen-Peters, this Netflix Original follows the rise and fall of Bashorun Ga'a, a ruthless kingmaker who wielded deceit and voodoo to build his power.

House of Ga'a is a testament to the growing strength of Nollywood in telling its own stories. It's a gripping tale of power, betrayal, and the consequences of ambition, and a must-see for anyone interested in African history and culture.

I love the story. How the story was well told is commendable. This is how to give an account of a legend. Bolanle Austin Peters deserves a national honor, she is a pride of the Yorubas. 💯

I really loved the movie. Its was an interesting watch from start to finish. The director and actors did an amazing job. Cinematography was on point. Production was top notch 👌. Just brilliant.

Honestly I loved the actors. It was easy to understand the story and plot and to follow it. It made me understand more about the Yoruba culture and our African culture to say the least. I do wish the producers can turn this movie into series so we can really get to enjoy more of the culture portrayed.

I really think the movie is highly underrated. You should watch it and you will not regret it. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed every bit of the House of G'aa from the costume design to the set to the acting. I think the producers did a phenomenal job of assembling the cast and coordinating everyone involved.

The movie felt very cohesive from start to finish. The plot and pace of the movie felt well crafted and executed. There was never a dull moment or irrelevant pieces in the film which in my humble opinion is quite common in Nollywood movies more broadly.

I'd definitely recommend as a case study for new producers and directors learning their craft in Nollywood, for Nigerians (and our leaders) to understand all that came before us and core lessons in history. Especially relating to the themes of power and corruption. I'd certainly recommend to anyone globally who's interested in seeing a great representation of Nigerian history and culture in film.

Great job team!!!

"House of Ga'a" is a masterful exploration of ambition, power, and vengeance. It offers a thrilling and thought-provoking experience that leaves a lasting impression. With its strong performances, gripping storyline, and exceptional direction, it is a must-watch for fans of political dramas and intense character studies.

I love the House of Ga'a movie because it was nicely executed, it reminded me of the kings of our old testament. The worship of idols, the misuse of power, the love, the betrayal, the revenge, and the fall

The film is a testament to the lengths one can go in the pursuit of power and the devastating consequences that follow.

The movie also shows an advancement in African film making, I wish it a came out in series so we can see and have a lot more in-depth analysis about the Yoruba culture, the relationship with their wives and more.

I give the movie a 9/10.

This movie was great. From the set to the costumes and then the actors. The actors really embodied their roles. It really looked liked the 18th century. I love the effort the production team put into this. I also learnt about our Nigerian history. I could relate to this because I have read and taught about Oyo empire. It was great to visualise it.

Femi Branch who played the ruthless Bashorun Gaa was amazing!

Nigeria has an amazing history. Well done to the director Bolanle Austin Peters. Please keep telling stories about our history.

This is definitely a movie I can watch over and over again.
