Some moviegoers said, “It’s truly one of the best cinematic examples of an emotionally abusive relationship I’ve ever seen.
Shalewa Ashafa
“The film’s release is anchored by FilmOne Entertainment, a West African film giant that collaborated with the film’s executive film production company, Trino Motion Pictures. Beverly Naya, Daniel Effiong, Shalewa Ashafa, Amanda Dara, Blossom Chukwuejekwu, Bucci Franklin, Uche Louis Okocha (The Producer), Lyndsey Efejeku (The Director), and other cast members and friends walked the beautifully decorated red carpet.The film is a timely and in-depth look at physical and emotional abuse in our society. The subject’s sensitivity makes it an enormous challenge for most filmmakers looking to take on the subject.
However, the Director and Producer saw the need to portray the complexities and brutal realities of abusive relationships and did an excellent job.
Beverly Naya
Beverly Naya’s incredibly layered performance takes the film to a new level, as she portrays her character’s various shades with impeccable precision and heartfelt compassion.”It was very important to me to document emotional abuse,” Beverly says. “It’s this slow, corrosive deterioration of your spirit and self-esteem to the point where you don’t know who you are at the end.” It was critical that my audience understood what was going on and learned how to become a better version of themselves.
“The film explores various themes, including repression, self-discovery, growth, and emotional abuse.
