Kemi Adetiba’s ‘King of Boys’ is a feminist love letter to Nigerian women

Kemi Adetiba’s sophomore project King of Boys is many things, from political quasi-thriller to a work that is tart, macabre, maximalist and acutely self-aware. Odds are, you are yet to come across a bad review. So permit me to officially kickstart the movie’s award campaign – AMVCA, AMAA, the whole bloody shindig. Critically, King of... Read More

Why the ‘King of Boys’ trailer takes the spot as the best trailer of the year

Nollywood movie trailers are inherently hard to understand. You know I’m right. Go to YouTube and see for yourself; it’s all there, embarrassing. It’s pathetic that in 2018, most filmmakers in Nollywood don’t know how to execute a trailer, preferring to assaulting viewers with loud noise and disorienting drama.

We are still being teased by Kemi Adetiba’s upcoming film “King of Boys

Straight to the point, the just-released teaser for Kemi Adetiba’s sophomore film King of Boys is inscrutable. I have seen it like three times, during which I’m transported to my childhood trips to the amusement park’s House of Horror, where it’s gleefully dark, taunting, and claustrophobic. In the meagre 30 seconds, the teaser uses copious... Read More
