What people are saying
7.5Audience score from 31 verified ratings
“Lisabi is basically another Epic film with same cast that might confuse you if you’re seeing House of Ga’a or any of the other epic films. Asides the story, the most stressful part of Lisab is the CGI, feels like we were taken back to 2005. Anyways, it is well.”
“Nollywood has massively advanced, especially in terms of cinematography. The cinematographers really did a good job, the editing was top notch too.”
“This movie is more about Chatta's character, Ogundoyin than Lisabi. There are few things about Lisabi that this part has failed to establish, I am hoping to see them established in the next.”
