The movie portrays the theme of emigration in a new light; while Rise is not a Nollywood movie, Nigerians have, over time, made movies that center on traveling out of the country.
For instance, Osoufia in London is an example of a movie with the narrative of emigrating out of the country; the movie has been followed up with other movies with similar traits. However, these films are mostly just funny and nothing more.
But, Rise is a very nuanced movie by a Nigerian filmmaker.

In all honesty, this writer believes Bimbo Ademoye was robbed of the award given how her character in Breaded Life had so much dept.
In the movie, Timini Egbuson plays the character of a spoilt rich child; his mother, Tina Mba, wants him to be more responsible. Things soon take a complete turn when he becomes unrecognizable by his family and friends.
