A Lagos Love Story is a charming, grounded romantic drama that blends class tension, family loyalty, and emotional resilience into a believable Lagos fairytale. With strong performances from Jemima Osunde and Mike Afolarin, the film balances romance with realism capturing both the noise of the city and the quiet moments of sacrifice. The music hits, the chemistry builds, and the love story unfolds with subtle power. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it brings a deeply Nigerian heart to it and sometimes, that’s more than enough.
