Movie Review - A LIGHT IN THE DARK
The movie was written by Babatunde Ojo and directed by Ekene Som Mekwunye the movie featured award winning actress Rita Dominic who featured in “Bound” of 2018 and “The meeting” of a few years back, if you know Rita you know that she doesn’t put her seal on a wrong movie. Rita has grown to becoming an icon and a personality to reckon with and I always love her style of bringing her specified movie character to live. The movie featured Kalu Ikeagu, Joke Silva, Kiki Omeilie and other A list actors.
In this lovely movie “Rita Dominic” played the role of a young Yoruba girl called Jumoke who was married to an Igbo guy called Emeka whose mother never wanted him to marry from another tribe, even Jumoke’s mother believed she was too pretty to marry an Igbo guy, when there were numerous fine guys from her tribe, against all odds they went on to get married and leaves a very happy marriage for over 19 years with their only daughter, until suddenly one faithful night the worst happened.
Some robbers came over to the house robbed them but also violated Jumoke, that took a great strain on their marriage, she felt that her husband didn’t do enough to protect her, she just couldn’t forgive him and let go, causing her to detest him so much. Just when I taught it was over weeks after the incidence and a total test, she finds out that she was pregnant and this what was she was searching for ever since she had Ada and the fight from his family. You will need to watch this beautiful movie to see how they managed the crisis.

For a few days I have being thinking of this movie and I can’t just get over it, they kept me speechless and thrilled all through, if was a very deep and touching story that brought loads of ideas and lessons also. I totally enjoyed every bit of this movie from the top notch cast to the production; the editing, script and storyline were all perfect. It was really difficult to predict the end of this movie, remember the Nigerian Slang that day “I never expected it” that was how I felt about this movie and just at the point when I thought it was over we found another secret that almost left me breathless, for crying out loud “How wicked can humans be?” I really couldn’t contend my joy and excitement for this movie hence my scoring it a beautiful 9/10 because they deserve it , please make sure you wait for the end, at that point you will understand all that transpired in the entire movie, the last scenes explained it all. What a real light in the dark, and it was a delight to see that we still have patient and faithful men. Lessons learnt make sure you are careful of whom you share your problems with; most times the enemies are always very close.
