Review of Isoken

Isoken (2017)
10/10
brilliant story meets brilliant production
12 October 2023
Isoken is the perfect illustration of brilliant storytelling meets brilliant production.

That traditional wedding scene was a thrilling opening moment of the film. It was crowned with colorful aso ebi plus Flavour's song "Golibe" playing in the background😍😍 It set the tone for the remainder of the movie, we were just dazzled!

No stone was left unturned, everything was executed with meticulous details which is rare in Nollywood. From the work behind the scenes to the front of the scenes, the cast and crew gave 200%.

Dakore Akande (playing Isoken), who usually gives off inconsistent performances, gave her all; she was classy, funny, girly, down-to-earth, but also frustrated and unfulfilled as she wanted to break out of the traditional system.

The dialogues were very poignant addressing the burdensome state of our culture in terms of dating and marriage pressures. We finished Isoken being encouraged to stand for happiness against all odds.

We look forward to more films from Jade!!
