NOLLYWOOD REVIEW: IJE(The Journey)

There is a saying, don’t narrate the movie so I can enjoy it.

That saying was irrelevant when I visited the Cinema, to see the Wave making film, IJE(The Journey)…

I was at the edge of my sit from the beginning of the movie to the end even though my friend who saw the movie before, had already told me the story.

IJE which showcases the enormous talent of Geneive Nnaji and Omotola Jalade Ekehiende is a story about Chioma, a child growing up in the Nigerian countryside, who warned her restless sister, Anya, about the challenges of an American Dream, since Anya only talked about going to America, as she called it her gateway to heaven.

Anya who had made up her mind that America was her only key to success, defiled and ignored the warnings of her sister Chioma and Father, and travelled as an immigrant.

Ten years later, Anya is accused of killing three men in a Hollywood Hills mansion—one of them her record producer-husband.

Chioma travels from Nigeria to Los Angeles, and with the help of a young, unproven attorney, discover that her sister was not completely honest during her confession.

Unknown to Anya the truth will set her free.

Watch IJE (The Journey) and find out if Anya was found guilty or not.

N/B: Asides Genevieve and Omotola outstanding performance, “Ulrich Que” who played the young, suave attorney of Chioma was fantastic. The movie was able to use moving images to tell stories and that got me smiling.

IJE directed by Chineze Anyaene is a most watch.

Rating: Good.
