For the Newbies, the KFB movie review is an every Friday column that gives you a cinema guide on which movies to watch and not watch! You can check out our other reviews (HERE).
Synopsis: Emeka OC Ukeje is an Igbo Christian Physiotherapist who falls in love with Hadiza Ini Dima -Okojie, his Hausa patient who happens to be Muslim as well. The declaration of his love to her father Musa (Gbenga Titiloye) leads him to face a vehement opposition like never before.
Not only because Musa strongly detests the thought of his daughter marrying from another tribe but also because he was also in a romantic relationship with Emeka’s mother (Caroline King) and of course wasn’t ready to leave her for anything. The fight then becomes, who will leave who for whom?
Starring: OC Ukeje, Ini Dima-okojie, Gbenga Titiloye, Saeed “Funky Mallam” Mohammed, Carol King, Sandra Stevenson, Belinda Yanga.
Verdict: You know I am a sucker for romantic movies so yea, I love it! It had me smiling and giggling all through, lol. The prevalent blend of culture, language and love in this movie is simply drop dead amazing. I have never enjoyed the Hausa language as much as I did in this movie! Love in Nollywood seems to be overflogged but with this movie, you will love ‘love’. You will want to fall in love (if you haven't).
North East is a fantastic movie with what might seem like your everyday run of the mill Nollywood story-line, but turns out quickly to be one story-line with a super serious twist up its sleeves that is an intriguingly intense plot.
It parades some seriously applaudable acting prowess; every single actor, was on top of their game in North East. OC Ukeje (the cute lover boy...the way he acted the love struck man in this movie ehn) and Ini played out their role as young lovers well, their chemistry was amazing. As a matter of fact, I'm impressed with Gbenga Titiloye (hadiza's dad), his Hausa accent was totally on point! Caroline King's laughter and giggling all through was unique too.
North East has a brilliant plot, great acting and a torrent of laughter inducing awkwardness.
And then i loved the fact that it promoted 'No-sex' before marriage, they waited till their wedding night! Oh, I mustn’t forget the background music especially the one that was played at the very of the movie; Tumbo by Capital Femi; superbly thrilling.
It has hard to even point out any error in this movie....it was too good!
