“Eyimofe is a movie by the Esiri brothers which I loved. They're two Nigerian brothers and filmmakers and they made a gorgeous, gorgeous movie about contemporary Nigeria and these intersecting stories. I saw it three times in theaters. My father was like 'I liked it' and that's a huge, huge review from an immigrant father. Eyimofe, also known as This Is My Desire in English. Amazing, amazing film, could not recommend highly enough.”
