Lana Emmanuel Director: Adeoluwa OwuCast: Kehinde Bankole, Yvonne Jegede, Funlola Aofiyebi-RaimiGenre: DramaWhere to Watch: NetflixNaijaSabi Score: 7.6/10
A former sex worker flees Lagos to open a lingerie business in a small conservative town, and the film watches the community’s hypocrisy unravel around her dignity.
Bankole gives one of the decade’s best Nollywood performances — guarded, funny, quietly devastating. The film’s compassion never tips into sermon.
Verdict: A small film with a huge heart and a career-defining lead turn.
