[A] sleepy charmer.

Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times
It is globally minded filmmaking that is also comfortingly familiar.

Ben Kenigsberg
New York Times
Breezy tale of Nigerian woman in corporate "man's world."

January 23, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Renee Schonfeld
Common Sense Media
Lionheart is not only groundbreaking, it's a lighthearted, feel-good movie about both family values and feminism that's an enjoyable watch for the whole family.

Tess Cagle
The Daily Dot
A light hearted drama more than a laugh out loud comedy, Lionheart symbolizes Nigerian film reaching a global audience in a big way.

Chauncey K. Robinson
People's World
A feelgood story the entire family can watch, and Nnaji's performance makes you want to see Adaeze win in the end.

Decider
Amusing and uplifting, without ever being sentimental, Nnaji clearly has a bright future in the director's chair.
