A LAGOS LOVE STORY – Reviewed on Film Talk Naija 🎬
This time, we took a ride into the world of Netflix’s Nigerian rom-com “A Lagos Love Story”, starring Mike Afolarin, Jemina Osunde, and Uche Montana — and trust us, this film had us feeling all the feels! 😍
The story of two sisters, Promise Quest and Favour, who are racing against time to raise ₦20 million before the government seizes their family home over tax debts. While Promise is chasing a life-changing event planning contract, her journey gets tangled up with none other than King K – a superstar musician with serious Ashake vibes 👑🎤
To seal the deal, Promise is forced to become King K’s personal assistant for four intense days — and as you guessed, work turns into romance 💞. But things get messy. Career-threatening drama, sabotaged partnerships, family pressure… the sisters go through it all.
What made us love this film?
✅ Realistic, slow-burning romance (No cringe fairy tale here!)
✅ Strong female leads that hold it down independently
✅ Fire soundtrack – shoutout to that “Forgive” song 🔥
✅ Crisp visuals & emotional camera work
✅ Costume & performance? 10/10. Jemina Osunde and Mike Afolarin delivered!
Of course, no film is perfect. The billboard design for King K’s concert felt rushed, and Promise’s dad’s health situation confused us a bit — but nothing major enough to ruin the experience.
🎯 Final Verdict: 8/10
This one is heartfelt, entertaining, and proudly Nigerian. So if you’re up for romance, hustle, family drama, and sweet music? Add it to your Netflix list ASAP.
