Isoken

Everyone in the Osayande family worries about Isoken. Although she has what appears to be a perfect life - beautiful, successful and surrounded by great family and friends - Isoken is still unmarried at 34 which, in a culture obsessed with marriage, is serious cause for concern. Things come to a head at her youngest sister's wedding when her overbearing mother thrusts her into an orchestrated matchmaking with the ultimate Edo man, Osaze. Osaze is handsome, successful and from a good family, making him the perfect Nigerian husband material. But in an unexpected turn of events, Isoken meets Kevin who she finds herself falling in love with and he just might be what she truly wants in a partner. The only problem is, not only is he not an Edo man, he is Oyinbo (Caucasian). Isoken is a romantic dramedy that explores cultural expectations, racial stereotypes and the bonds that unite families in a touching, dramatic and comedic way.

Simply stunning. A great addition to my collection.

Every genre has the potential to be 'done well'... and this film meets those expectations.

I don't have the words for this movie. I'll just leave five stars.

This movie is Romance the way it was meant to be: intelligent, thought-provoking, and exciting.

This film really is everything the critics have been saying. Stupendous, visually spellbinding, brilliantly acted and very funny.

My hat off to lead cast and Jadesola Osiberu. Great job!!! And I am going to see it again.

Enjoyable throughout! Would watch again!

Great movie. Great actors.

There are so many things I'd like to say about this film - I could write a dissertation!

In this surprisingly good movie, Jadesola Osiberu raise interesting questions, but use a different angle this time around.

I don't know how many times I watch this one. I don't get tired of watching it. This is a great movie.
