Nigerians Are Loving Funke Akindele’s ‘Finding Me’ | See Their Reactions

Have you ever found it difficult to identify the person looking back at you in the mirror? That is the central theme of Funke Akindele's most recent movie, "Finding Me," which is currently available for viewing on Amazon Prime Video.

The movie follows folks who wake up one day and realize they no longer recognize themselves because they have lost themselves to marriage, friendships, or the silent weight of constantly providing for others at the expense of oneself. It is a profoundly human tale of self-loss and rediscovery.

People like these characters are common, as we all know. They are some of us. The woman who sacrifices everything for her house to the point where she loses the ability to love herself. The buddy who never says yes to herself but always says yes to others. The man who has never learnt to stand alone and instead follows the herd.

That's why "Finding Me" resonates so strongly. In addition to providing an engaging narrative, it serves as a mirror, revealing aspects of ourselves that we may not always want to acknowledge.

Since the film's screening yesterday, people have been talking about it nonstop. Funke Akindele, Efe Iwara, Joseph Benjamin, Omowunmi Dada, Femi Adebayo Salami, Shaffy Bello, Dele Odule, Sharon Ooja, Tina Mba, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Omoni Oboli, Emeka Nwagbaraocha, and AbdulGafar Abiola (The Cute Abiola) are among the cast members who have many people gushing about them. Others are complimenting the writing, describing it as one of Akindele's most intricate and captivating works to date.

I can’t help but think Funke Akindele intentionally gained weight just to bring this character to life.

However, we're not shocked. "Finding Me" is another one of Funke Akindele's productions that consistently exudes enchantment.
