Aníkúlápó

The movie storyline was good and the cinematography was cool I must say I enjoyed the movie.

From the beginning I was the edge of the till the finish. Bravo to the Nigerian movie industry they are really trying this time and threats every project as if it's the best to come.

Thank you for anukulapo!!

The production team achieved a fine work on set and it was beautiful to see a film told during pre-colonial times. Just wished the script was as robust as the production...

DELICIOUS

-What an outstanding display of life back in the day! We truly relished the antique setting, festival, dances, cooking, people walking barefoot, fabric making, clay molding, etc.

Hats off to the hair, make-up, and set design teams! The hard work paid off

-This was Kunle Remi's best performance so far. He genuinely impersonated the character Saro/Anikulapo by showing different facets: pain, pride, infatuation, and power.

The rest of the cast was sublime, especially Bimbo Ademoye annnnnnnd Sola Sobowale did NOT shout😄

-The title best suited Bimbo's role as she 'died and resurrected' to a brand new life embracing strength and seizing critical opportunities to change her destiny

BLAND

-The audio, the audio, sadly, sounded ADR-ish

-Anikulapo was a simple plot told in a simple way; there weren't any sizzling moments to glue us to our seats

We were more like spectators, not involved in the story but just observing Saro's journey. More gripping dialogues could have also made a difference.

The adage is old. Fate has a weird sense of humor. I enjoy watching this type of movie, showcasing the Yoruba culture undiluted and grandiose. It is spectacular to see the costumes and hair styles and make-up very detailed. The soundtrack also blow me away, it sounds fine tuned to raise and deepen every emotional response as the film progresses. The simple but yet complex living of Africans in this case Yoruba of the old Oyo empire was captured by the directing and plot of the movie. The acting is also very believable, the main character "Saro" gave a very professional act, not to mention the uncredited casts as well. Everyone played their part very well. In essence don't die for nyansh lol.

Seeing people and life in Nigeria is massive an all black and all African idea its not a bad movie just that it has a lack of magic and the story is rather simple once you warm over the charm and genuine African elements it leaves a lot of space in direction and acting, story even detail of life. I feel it nearly had me, but it became a bit difficult to sustain interest around the time he porked the servant - good try and good start but I fear it did not make use of all it could have, and may have ben hampered by politics and greed off screen.. lets put this down as a good effort and possible space for more.

I love the story, the cultural representation and the actors. Kunle outdid himself with this film. While i am Igbo, a different ethnicity to the Yoruba portrayed in this movie, I was not lost one bit and almost every scene was relatable as a person. The Settings looked authentic even though i have nothing to compare it to. But it just feels original.

The sex scene too was ok, not to erotic but enough to announce that Nollywood is ready for adding nude and sex scenes to movies to increase its standards. A daring move considering how reserved a lot Nigerian folks are.

Overall its an wonderful movie to see.
