My Father's Shadow Reviews

this movie was so fucking good, I wish nigerians were real

An excellent film, up there with the other very few good Nigerian period pieces. Everything shot was beautiful. A perfect juggle of comedy, history and suspense, but still very personal. You can really tell when effort is put into something, a must watch.

I refuse to get personal on this app.

such a beautiful and emotionally striking film

7,5/10

Honestly as a nigerian this show just gave me PTSD, nothing has changed at all. I left the cinema feeling a pit in my stomach🥹

The movie itself was slow, and somewhat boring but beautiful cinematography. It was a coming of age movie of little boys who needed their dad. 5.8/10

A nice story and shows the ups nd owns of family and parents, child relationships. Achy was well done and actors put on a nice PERFORMANCE.
