Watching Genevieve Nnaji's 'LionHeart' made me cry — Stella Damasus

A lot of people are talking about Genevieve Nnaji’s directorial debut movie LionHeart.

The star-studded movie, which is the first Netflix original film to come out of Nigeria's film industry, has been getting a lot of reviews on social media – even from Nollywood celebrities.

The latest celebrity to give her opinion about the much-talked-about movie is Nollywood actress Stella Damasus.

The 40-year-old veteran movie star in an Instagram post, praised the movie’s storyline, casting, cinematography and costume.

‘Just finished watching #lionheartthemovie by @genevievennaji on @netflix my goodness this blew my mind. From the story, to the casting, to the cinematography, costumes and everything in it, this movie is so good,” she wrote.

She urged Nigerians to support Genevieve’s new movie by watching it on Netflix and giving it a good rating.

“I don’t usually do this but please guys go and watch this movie. Best of all she moved me to tears by dedicating the movie to AMAKA IGWE. I loved every minute of it and I know you all will. Please support this by watching and rating it with your thumbs up so that Netflix will know that Nigeria has great things to offer,” she added.

Let me thank Genevieve for casting our Nollywood actors who have not been given a lot of opportunities in recent times. Best of all she moved me to tears by dedicating the movie to AMAKA IGWE. I loved every minute of it and I know you all will. Please support this by watching and rating it with your thumbs up so that Netflix will know that Nigeria has great things to offer. #movie #film #nollywood #netflixmovies #womensupportingwomen
