From the beginning of the movie, it was easy to feel the pulse of the lead actress (Mrs Phillips) and scene after scene, we were taken into the reality of the pressures of politics, most especially being a female and particularly, facing your husband to contest for a position. Who does that? Well, to answer your question, Mrs Phillips did.
Every scene was believable. The lead male actor, Richard Mofe Damijo certainly played his role excellently well as husband and politician.
It truly shows what happens in the political terrain, especially in Nigeria. Thanks to all the actors and actresses who delivered their roles accurately.
“I always like to outdo myself because I am my only competition and no one else. I am encouraged by the reviews from those who have watched it so far and I know it can only get better.” Omoni said.
Telling you more about the movie would be spilling the beans. I want you to go watch it yourself and let the movie do the talking.
Do you know that love can be war? Well, whether you agree or not, I believe your decision will come after watching the movie. Go and have an amazing time at the cinemas and celebrate Nollywood because as Omoni says, “it can only get better.”
