Mokalik (Mechanic)

This is movie is about a coming of age comedy/drama about a young boy who wants to fix things with his hands rather sit behind a cubicle. In a broader sense, I think this is just celebrating how things are done in Africa, and how kids learn to be humble.

I was really supprise by the cinimatography, story, and acting. I used to watch a lot movies from Nigeria but soon realize that the quality sometimes just isn't there for me but this movie just reminded that I need to explore more.

A light comedy, with intelligent and fun dialogues, that veiled humor, charismatic characters, and the seriousness and sobriety of the protagonist enchant... A real mechanics lesson for us, moviegoers and car curiosity, very cute, simple and creative, beautiful production Nigerian...

I was absolutely delighted and enchanted by the simple, peaceful, uneventful and beautiful everyday life of these characters. Sure, nothing big happens, and isn't life that way for a regular citizen in any part of the world? Nonetheless, our boy did learn quite a few life lessons- *SPOILERS* by the end of day he was respecting the elders and committed to studying and working on his free days in the workshop.

Whenever we think of Africa, it is rare to think about stories that do not involve wars, poverty and tragedies; not to say that it doesn't happen, but Africa is much more than that: a continent with 54 countries inhabited by people filled with life and emotions, people who have everyday jobs, enjoy barbecues, stream Netflix and somewhere in there, in some place in Nigeria, there's a bunch of mechanics talking passionately about The Premier League.

I was blessed with the experience of watching this tale of love, friendship, camaraderie and hard work.

This is a very good and distinct movie. Some people might not like it perhaps because they are used to the love or thriller story films or perhaps because they are not used to life with a vehicle. They movie truly shows how things really are in the life of mechanics, apprentices and customers. It also teachers parents and children a good lesson. It is a seemingly perfect expository movie.

This movie might be hard to watch if you have no affinity with West Africa. It gives a good insight into the Nigerian way of things. I would surely recommend it to anyone to watch. Watch it, learn from it.
