MOVIE REVIEW:Another Leaf


  A couple  Kate  and  James  ( Uche  Jombo and Tony  Monjaro)  who  left  Nigeria  in  search  of  a  better  life  that  resulted  in  the  husband  marrying   his  own  sister   to  be  able  to  get  a  resident  permit,In  the  interim  he  takes  up  a  job  at  a  mansion  as  a  house  manager  (glorified house boy) and Tara  (Dytmi Ngozi Ibe) who  is married  but  has  issues  with  husband  then  moves  to  her  father’s  house  to  there .She  is  also  a  spoilt  brat  and  has  a  sister  Nneka (Susan Nwokedi) .
Kate  decided  to  also  take  up  a  job  that  resulted in  her  employer raping  initially  but  continued  all  in  the  name  of  resident  permit  and got  pregnant  which  led  to  the  dissolution  of  her  marriage.
 When  Tara  found  out  that   her  sister  Nneka  was  in  love  with  her  lover  Eric   she  attempted  suicide  a  situation  that  made  Tara  turn a  new  leaf  after  her  recovery  and  found  love  in  the  arms  of  James  their domestic  staff  though  he  father  didn't  like  the  idea  but  later  supported  her.
I  had  to  infer  who  Tara’s  husband  was ,there  was  nothing  to   signify that  or  give  a  clue.  The  movie  didn't  flow  smoothly  which might be a turn  off  for  some people.The  acting  was  just  okay  nothing  spectacular .The Props,setting good. James  action  was  well done  especially  his  reaction  when  he  lost  his  job.(typical of how some Nigerians can react) A few  good  lessons  also  learnt  from the movie.
The movie produced and directed by Ike Nnaebue and Tony Ngozi Ibe.
At  the  end  of  it  all  it’s  a  movie  you  shouldn't  watch  when  you  want  to  get  entertained.
