First of I’d commend the producers of the movie, they tried in the cast, setting and everything. The movie was really interesting and mind blowing. I learnt to be resilient, persistent and courageous. Funmilayo is a most watch movie by all.

Story of courage and resilience
May 19, 2024
The movie superseded my expectation. It not just illustrated the story in an engaging way but also had some touches of humour.
The actors and actresses were top notch most especially Kehinde Bankole. I admire her courage and doggedness. I recommend this movie, it’s indeed a good one.
Amazing 😍😍
