Blood Sisters

It's refreshingly different from the normal Nollywood flick.

The unpredictability of the storyline, the engaging dialogues and the character interpretation of the cast was superb.

I enjoyed every bit.

Although it took a minute to sink into the story, eventually, it caught on.

The cinematography was well done. The scene introduction and sound too.

For a local movie it's use of mother toungue where suitable, is well blended for international audience.

Lastly, I so love the subtlety of stars given minor role,s like cameos. That was interesting, lol. Toyin, Bayo (Hustle), Mama Joke Silvia, etc. I loved the pleasant surprise of their appearance.

All I can is, it's a far far improvement from the norm. Simple as that. The bar is set, hope it's maintained.

Watch without a condescending mindset. Good story , needs a bit of brushing up and character development as the show goes on. But you're in for a thrill with some few twist that leaves you in suspense.

This movie is by far one of the best Nollywood x Netflix screen plays. For those of us who are AUTHENTICALLY Nigerian, it is an ode to our youth, the acting style, the story line speaks to the cultural differences. A must watch if you ask me.

Blood sisters For a Nigerian mini series it had a lot of positives, that can make us turn our eyes from the negatives. The star studded cast was such a delight, because it wasn't star studded to bring audiences alone, but because they actually wanted stellar performances; it was also refreshing to see big names relegated to cameo roles (Toyin Abraham, Joke Silva, to name a few). The cinematography and direction was well-done. The locations were spot on, serving all of the aesthetic purposes they wanted to deliver. From the lush and grande setting the rich family had, to the makoko slums during the cat and mice chase... The attention to detail was lovely to see, they wanted the production to scream high budget, and it did. There was also enough characterization to keep audiences going.

I can't sing only praises for this production, even though I want to, the plot was wonky and so many parts weren't plausible. The pacing also didn't progress evenly.

This is a change from the norm though, and I get why many are excited, because this shows that nollywood still has hope.

Are we gonna talk about the nudity??? What??? That knocked me out! A Nigerian production and I was seeing naked derrières and boobs and nipples, what??? And before you decide to watch this because I added nudity, it appears sparingly, but, for a Nigerian production, it was a lot!

To conclude, blood sisters was an imperfect but enjoyable ride.

I thought the cinematography was beautiful, I find the movie colorful and full of life. The chemistry between kemi and Sarah as best friends was unbelievably good!, nice pacing in the movie as well..looks more organized in terms of setting up each scenes. It's a brilliant movies and a win for nollywood and africa in general.
