    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

    I've just watched What No One Knows again and I'm still obsessed. It's hands down my favorite film of 2024. I've seen it three times already and I'm watching it again tomorrow -can't get enough. The whole film is beautifully done, but Tope's performance really stood out. So raw and real, you feel every second she's on screen. They did an incredible job with this movie. I seriously hope there's more to come because I'm fully hooked. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it. Trust me-it's worth every minute. One of those rare films that sticks with you for long.. Congratulations.πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

    Amazing Movie

    This movie is incredibly relevant in today's society and highly educational. It highlights crucial conversations that couples should have before starting a family, particularly regarding expectations, gender roles, and mutual understanding. Additionally, it offers valuable lessons for in-laws and extended family members, emphasizing the importance of not pressuring women based on the gender of their child. Every child, whether a boy or a girl, is a precious gift from God. The film beautifully captures these themes, making it both thought-provoking and impactful. I absolutely love it. I am definitely sharing it with friends.

    Riveting and original story of two hearts broken by a secret. Lola Fani-Kayode would be proud

    I ventured into Curzon Soho over the May bank holiday for the special screening of @whatnononeknowsthemovie. As a closet movie critic, I came with an open mind and was blown away. Amazing quality of the plot, subplots, flashbacks, character arcs, and cinematography. I grew up on movies including a bold and original storytelling from the likes of Lola Fani-Kayode and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Top notch transitions of scenes stood out, smoothly moving the storyline along from young to older protagonists. The entire cast brought their A Game to a story that surely resonates with anyone having strong family values and longing for loyalty. #WNOK #TeamOriyomi #TeamIfeolu #SoConflicted At the post-screening Q&A, the passion of both co-producers was evident to us. Well deserved 10 stars.

    @Netflixfilm @Amazonmgmstudios kindly help tell this the story all over the world!

    Well written, great cast, beautifully produced!

    What No One Knows was a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. It kept me glued to the screen throughout, trying (and failing) to predict the course of events.

    The funeral scene with young Yomi was incredibly moving. Very well acted and almost impossible to believe that WNOK was her debut acting role.

    Gripping story and excellent acting throughout. Definitely worth the watch! The ending was unpredictable (unlike most Nollywood movies these days). It left me with a feeling of satisfaction, having enjoyed a brilliantly written, entertaining and well acted bit of entertainment for a change.

    What a triumph of raw talent and storytelling

    This really is a standout film, easily my favourite film of 2024. A film the cast and crew should be incredibly proud of.

    What No One Knows is a beautiful story of love, loss, friendship and betrayal.

    I laughed, I cried and I felt a gut wrenching pain in my stomach as the story unfolded and the raw, beautiful talent of the lead characters shone through.

    I identified with part of the story in the film, which only intensified the already powerful storyline.

    There are few scenes that really stood out for me, which to avoid creating any spoilers I won't name. But when you see them, I would challenge any human not to feel the immense pain felt by the characters, and desperately challenging predicament they found themselves in.

    I must also mention the original soundtrack of the film. It's beautiful, empowering, uplifting, but also at the same time is so desperately haunting once you're familiar with the story behind where each track appears.

    All round, what an amazing film! A true accomplishment.

    I'd recommend watching with friends if you can, so you can share the energy from this film together.
