Christmas In Lagos was more of an attempt to show off the festive facade of Lagos than a move to challenge the status quo of rom-com Nollywood has sold to us over the years.
I see it as one not-so-good movie with a near-perfect cinematography—staggeringly good enough to make the bad plot manageable.
I love the cast and although they didn't do too much, their familiar faces still helped us dislike the movie less. 🤣 I wouldn't want to sound dismissive but I still don't know why Ladipoe played Ajani. He didn't quite get it.
This is a really good review! The funny thing is that when I watched the movie, I was too dazzled and impressed by the aesthetics to think critically about the story, but I definitely see your points- the story missed out on more context and conflict, but I’m proud of how pretty it was 😆
Very good critic of a movie I haven’t seen and doubt I’d ever see. But the points you make are salient and show your attention to what could make a good movie

Lovely review. This is so down-to-earth.
Ladipoe should’ve appeared in the same capacity as Ayra and Wurld.
