Blood Sisters understood its assignment from the first minute and never once...
Blood Sisters understood its assignment from the first minute and never once let go. A wedding. A secret. A body. Two women - best friends - running from a powerful family that can make truth disappear. Kate Henshaw as Timeyin's terrifying mother-in-law is a masterclass in weaponized composure. Every scene she is in, the temperature drops. She does not raise her voice because she does not need to. Power does not need volume. Nancy Isime and Ini Dima-Okojie as the two leads have a chemistry th...

Wole Soyinka wrote Death and the King's Horseman in 1975. Kunle Afolayan brought it to screen in 2022. The wait was worth it. Odunlade Adekola as Elesin, the king's horseman who is bound by tradition to follow his king into death, gives one of the most complex performances in modern Nollywood history. He must play a man who genuinely believes in his duty and also genuinely does not want to die. Both things are true simultaneously. Adekola holds that tension without resolution because Soyinka ne...

Brotherhood asks a question that Nigerian society does not always want to answer out loud: what happens when the same poverty produces a police officer and a gangster, and those two people are the same blood? Jade Osiberu's film follows twin brothers whose identical origins lead to violently opposed destinies. Tobi Bakre carries both sides of this story with an emotional intelligence that the film demands and that he delivers without making it look like work. The action sequences are genuinely...
Before Fela, there was his mother. And his mother was extraordinary.
Before Fela, there was his mother. And his mother was extraordinary. Bolanle Austen-Peters directed this long-overdue tribute to Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti - educator, activist, organizer, and one of the most consequential Nigerian women of the 20th century. Kehinde Bankole carries the film with a composure that feels earned rather than performed. She makes Funmilayo's courage feel not extraordinary but inevitable - the natural response of a woman who simply refused to accept what she was told to ...

Kunle Afolayan gave us something rare with Anikulapo: a Nollywood film that operates entirely on its own mythology with complete confidence in that mythology. Kunle Remi as Saro, a cloth trader in ancient Yorubaland, is killed and brought back to life by the mystical Akalamagbo bird. He is given a gourd that holds the power of life and death. What he does with that power - and what it does to him - is where the film becomes something profound. Bimbo Ademoye as Arolake is a revelation. Her perf...

C.J. Obasi shot Mami Wata entirely in black and white and it is one of the most visually arresting African films made in this decade. A coastal West African village worships Mami Wata, the powerful water spirit who protects them. When their faith is tested by a mysterious stranger and political instability, the community fractures in ways that reveal what they truly believe versus what they merely perform. Sundance 2023. World Cinema Dramatic Competition. It earned every moment of internationa...
Richard Mofe-Damijo has been the standard of Nigerian acting for decades....
Richard Mofe-Damijo has been the standard of Nigerian acting for decades. The Black Book reminded everyone exactly why. RMD plays Paul Edima, a widowed deacon whose son is killed by corrupt police officers who frame him as a criminal. What follows is a father's mission - methodical, relentless, devastating. Editi Effiong directed this with the confidence of someone who has watched every great action thriller and understood that pace and character are not enemies of each other. The film never s...
Jade Osiberu did not come to play with A Tribe Called Judah.
Jade Osiberu did not come to play with A Tribe Called Judah. A group of Lagos women - pickpockets and hustlers - pull off a heist that spirals into something none of them planned for. The premise sounds simple. The execution is anything but. Bimbo Ademoye leads an ensemble that crackles with chemistry. Each woman is distinct, layered, fully formed. The film never reduces them to a type. They are allowed to be funny and ruthless and afraid and ambitious all in the same scene. Osiberu writes wo...

Jagun Jagun is the film that proved Nollywood can do epic the way epic was meant to be done. Femi Adebayo produced and stars as Ogungbenle, a fearsome warlord who takes in a young warrior with hidden potential. What unfolds is a full-blooded Yoruba epic set in ancient times - betrayal, honor, warfare, and destiny woven together with a production quality that had no business being this high. The costumes alone deserve an entire conversation. The battle sequences are choreographed with genuine i...
Anora won the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2024.
Anora won the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2024. After watching it I understand why. After sitting with it for a week I understand it even more. Sean Baker makes films about people the industry usually treats as subject matter rather than subjects. Anora - a young sex worker in Brooklyn - marries the son of a Russian oligarch on a whim. The marriage lasts long enough for his family to find out. Mikey Madison as Anora is a revelation. She is not playing a trope or a tragedy. She is playing a person - q...
Alfonso Cuaron spent years only making films.
Alfonso Cuaron spent years only making films. He saved his first television series for Disclaimer. You understand why immediately. Cate Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft - a celebrated documentary filmmaker who discovers a novel written about a secret from her past that she has buried for twenty years. The novel is in the hands of her husband. Her son. Her colleagues. Blanchett does not perform distress. She wears it. Every scene with her is a masterclass in communicating interior collapse wh...

Emilia Perez is the most original film I have seen in years and I am still not entirely sure what to do with it. Jacques Audiard made a Spanish-language Mexican musical about a cartel boss who fakes her death to transition and start over. That sentence should not work as a film. It absolutely works as a film. Zoe Saldana as Rita Mora Castro is the moral center. A lawyer dragged into something she cannot control, watching it spiral with her hand on the wheel. Selena Gomez as Jessi Del Monte su...
The Brutalist is 3 hours and 35 minutes long.
The Brutalist is 3 hours and 35 minutes long. I would have stayed for six. Brady Corbet made an epic about a Hungarian-Jewish architect who survives the war, emigrates to America, and spends the rest of his life trying to build something lasting in a country that wants his talent but not his personhood. Adrien Brody's performance as Laszlo Toth is generational. He carries thirty years of displacement, addiction, genius, and grief in his body without ever telegraphing the work. You do not watch...

The Substance is the most viscerally unhinged film of 2024 and it earns every frame of its madness. Coralie Fargeat made a body horror film that is actually about something profound and enraging: the way the world devours women's worth on a ticking clock tied entirely to their youth and their body. Demi Moore gave the performance of her career. A woman who built an empire on her image watching that empire be handed to a younger version of herself that she created. The horror is not supernatura...
Shogun is not just the best show of 2024.
Shogun is not just the best show of 2024. It is one of the best television seasons ever made. Full stop. Hiroyuki Sanada as Yoshii Toranaga gave us a performance so layered and restrained that every silence contained more information than most actors deliver in dialogue. You spend the entire season trying to read him and the show rewards your patience in the final episodes in ways that physically alter your breathing. What the show understood that so many historical dramas miss is that politic...

Baby Reindeer is the most uncomfortable thing I have watched in years and I have not stopped thinking about it since. Richard Gadd wrote this from his own life. His own stalking. His own trauma. He then put himself on screen and lived it again for every episode. That takes a kind of courage that most writers never even approach. Jessica Gunning as Martha is one of the greatest performances in recent television history. She made you feel her loneliness so completely that there were moments you ...
I did not expect Wicked to wreck me the way it did.
I did not expect Wicked to wreck me the way it did. Jon M. Chu took the most beloved Broadway musical in a generation and somehow made it feel like it was always meant to be a film. Every frame is a painting. Every shot is a statement. Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba is not a performance. It is a channeling. When she opened her mouth for Defying Gravity, the entire cinema went silent in a way that happens maybe twice in a decade. Ariana Grande made everyone who doubted her eat their words slowly. Gl...
Gladiator II hit different and I need to talk about it.
Gladiator II hit different and I need to talk about it. Paul Mescal as Lucius carrying the weight of a legacy that was never supposed to be his - that alone should have been enough. But then Denzel Washington walks into this film as Macrinus and rewrites every scene he is in. Denzel did not play a villain. He played a man who understood power better than everyone around him and used that understanding like a surgeon uses a scalpel. Every smile was a calculation. Every kindness was a trap door....
