I liked the plot twist in #LionHeart
The father didn’t die of a cardiac arrest.
His brother wasn’t trying to sabotage him
The brother had a great relationship with his Sister in law
The son wasn’t overly looked down upon by his father cuz he was into music— Pearl Mbalenhle Whyte (@Nelie_Whyte) January 4, 2019
Promoted Igbo language & culture.
Promoted Enugu state.
Promoted Innoson Motors.
Promoted family values.
Promoted the wisdom in African proverbs.
Promoted that every child matters regardless of gender.
Promoted the good of kind deeds even to strangers.#LionHeart is exceptional.— OurFaveOnlineDoc ?? ?? (@OurFavOnlineDoc) January 5, 2019
Another impressive aspect of Genevieve’s #Lionheart is its humanizing portrayal of the North as a place of truly enterprising and integrating people, beyond the familiar Nollywood caricatures of the North as producers of gate-men and unintelligent illiterates. We are progressing.

Igbo is such a beautiful language. I love how this Lionheart is laced with Igbo. Perfect.

Genevieve Nnaji’s Lionheart is now out on Netflix. Beautifully scripted and acted out, it is great to see a homegrown flick espousing core family/social values and positivity in business circuits. A must-watch for discerning minds and a source of pride to well-meaning folks.

Lionheart was a good movie.
Haven’t genuinely laughed at a movie like that for a while— HM (@HbeforeM) January 6, 2019
I'm really happy #Lionheart wasn't a romcom, didn't have a party it was centred around, didn't have evil relatives nor was it a woe is me tale of poverty. The story had mad holes, yeah? But it was pretty, steeped in culture in a way that looked natural. Baby steps. It's cool.
