Robert Abele Los Angeles Times [A] sleepy charmer. Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times It is globally minded filmmaking that is also comfortingly familiar. Jan 9, 2019 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Breezy tale of Nigerian woman in corporate "man's world." Rated: 3/5 Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Tess Cagle The Daily Dot 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. Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2019 Full Review Chauncey K. Robinson People's World A light hearted drama more than a laugh out loud comedy, Lionheart symbolizes Nigerian film reaching a global audience in a big way. Jan 9, 2019 Full Review Joel Keller Decider A feelgood story the entire family can watch, and Nnaji's performance makes you want to see Adaeze win in the end.
