A mini super story movie

It harkens back to old Nollywood. In this story of betrayal, self-love, and money, the characters come alive in a way that is reminiscent of old Nollywood TV series.Seeing Joseph Benjamin back as a sleek, sly charmer was a thing to behold. The casting is on point for the main characters, and the story has a few surprises, though it also feels all too familiar.From family dynamics to a central character whom you want to shake back to her senses, this is a very engaging story with a soap operatic flair. I, however, had a few grievances.I wish more time had been given to explore the characters and their motivations, particularly the couple. Why was she the way she was, allowing herself to be railroaded? Why did she make the choice to go back and embrace deception? I also wish the dynamic between Joseph's character and his friend, the doctor, had been given more layers to explain the loyalty. I also wish Joseph's character had been humanized a bit more. The fact that the actor is good at his craft and loved by many may make his character seem digestible, but for character development, it would have helped to understand his motivations and why he changed.All round, a good movie and easy to watch and follow. The supporting cast is also packed, and they are all in on the shenanigans, creating a really fun Nollywood drama.

A Powerful Story of Love, Lies, and Liberation ...a reflection of society.

"Finding Me" is more than just a movie-it's a wake-up call. It dives deep into how society pressures women to believe their worth depends on marriage and having children. Atinuke's story isn't just about her; it speaks to women everywhere who have felt trapped in relationships that drain them. It tackles emotional manipulation, toxic masculinity, and the expectation to stay in a broken marriage just to keep up appearances.Kolawole is the kind of man too many women know-controlling, deceptive, and treating his wife like something he owns. Atinuke, on the other hand, is the woman many can relate to-the one who stays, hoping love will change a man, only to realize she has to save herself instead.Funke Akindele delivers a stunning performance, making Atinuke's transformation feel real and raw. We see her go from a woman desperate for love to someone who finds the strength to walk away. The cinematography is striking, capturing the difference between her picture-perfect life and the painful reality underneath. The sound and pacing build tension, making every revelation hit harder, and the script leads us step by step to the moment Kolawole's lies crumble. And also, I appreciated the attention to details and the effort put into tying up loose ends, and that alone is commendable.At its heart, Finding Me is about betrayal, but more importantly, it's about rediscovering yourself. Atinuke loses herself in a marriage built on lies but comes out stronger in the end. The film doesn't just tell a story-it makes you question how society shapes our choices. While the ending feels a little rushed, the message is clear: when Atinuke finally finds herself, she finds her freedom. A must-watch for anyone who loves stories of resilience and empowerment!

Boring Movie

I went into this movie hoping for a decent experience, but it turned out to be a major disappointment. The most noticeable issue is the length-it's far too long for the story it tries to tell. So many scenes feel unnecessary and drawn out, as if they were included just to stretch the runtime. The pacing suffers heavily because of this, making the film feel like a slog rather than an engaging experience.The protagonist's performance is another weak point. For someone meant to carry the emotional weight of the film, the actor lacks presence and depth. Their delivery often feels flat, and they fail to bring any real emotion or nuance to the role. It made it really difficult to connect with or care about the character's journey.The writing doesn't help either. The dialogue is awkward, the story is predictable, and many characters are underdeveloped or completely forgettable. Even the visual and audio aspects are unremarkable-the cinematography is average, and the soundtrack fails to add anything meaningful to the experience.Overall, there are very few redeeming qualities. A couple of moments might have shown potential, but they're buried under too many dull scenes and poor direction. I honestly can't recommend this movie-it feels like a waste of time and completely fails to leave an impact.
