'Eyimofe' review: A Nigerian dream of escape - Los Angeles Times


Who better qualified to direct a penetrating depiction of the bonds between siblings living in contemporary Lagos than a pair of Nigerian twin brothers?
In their affecting, remarkably accomplished first feature, Arie and Chuko Esiri convey the separate stories of two individuals connected by their shared dream of finding a fresh start for themselves in Europe away from the oppressive bureaucracy, crumbling infrastructure and class division that threaten to suffocate them.
The film’s first half focuses on Mofe (heart-piercingly portrayed by Jude Akuwudike), a compassionate electrical technician working at a decrepit printing plant. His sister and her young sons are tragic victims of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
