Isoken (2017)

This movie really makes me want to finagle an invite to a Nigerian wedding. They look to be a lot of fun and the colors (at least for the ones shown in this film) are incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately for the titular character, it’s also the perfect opportunity for her meddling family to set her up with the ideal Nigerian mate. While she gets to know this perfect man, she also finds herself drawn to another man, one who lets her be herself but is far from her family’s marital hopes. It’s a film that places itself firmly in the romantic comedy category, but as a quality entry with plenty of extra touches that deal with family, culture, and the expectations from the two.
