Hello guys, hope you've well. I would like to share a movie that caught my attention a few months ago. The movie titled “Love in every word” I'm not a fan of Nigerian movies but this particular one I had to watch. I happened to stumble across the trailer on someone's statue and the next minute I saw myself on youtube coiled up with my blanket.

The story line is a relatable one. The movie goes this way, it's about a lady named Chioma who had a failed relationship after investing in a guy. The last guy, she invested her savings into a forex market where she lost her money.Her relationship was always complicated and she's always on the giving side while the guys are on the receiving side.
Love can be crazy, it goes into details of the complexity of modern relationships.She got fed up when the guy asked her for another sum to reinvest promising this time there will be returned, she broke up with the guy after which she went down to her hometown in Anambra for her cousin's wedding where she met Odogwu.Chioma, a walkaholic who was buried in her work, tries to hide from her mother who wanted to introduce her to someone.
She hid at the corner of the house and fortunately for her the guy met her there. They both clicked, vibe together and engage into a deep conservation. Chioma was worried she won't see Odogwu anyone but he shows up at her office with great attention to ask for her number.Odogwu is a self made man and a very wealthy one who turned down so many girls but when he met Chioma he wanted her at all costs. Based in Anambra but comes to Lagos every week to see Chioma.Chioma was pampered by Odogwu and was spoiled with so many expensive things.
She hasn't experienced that kind of love but she wasn't proud of Odogwu because of his accent. She wanted a more polished man with a nice accent. Her friends spoke to her but then it wasn't just her accent it was the backstory. She was scared that what happened when she was younger was going to repeat itself.Her father had the same accent as Odogwu and she was scared Odogwu was going to leave her just like her father left her mother for another woman.
The characters portray true friendship especially when it comes to Chioma's friends who stood by her during her challenges. Helped her in getting back her money from her ex after he was last seen on a vacation. The protagonist relationship portrays what every young girl wants, a guy who is willing to spend lavishly on them.
The story comes with moral lessons too, especially when it comes to career and being a boss on your own. We could see how hard Chioma works at the office but every credit was given to another. Her side hustle which was her business suffered while she gave her all to a salary job. It also portrays how our backstory or childhood trauma affects us and our current decision. I will rate this movie 9/10. Worth my time and money.
