Yeaa, strain is indeed a lovely movie. I enjoyed it, it brought tear to my eyes towards the end maybe cos I'm AS and the dude I loved too is AS. So we had to call it a quit. I could really relate to it because, I saw the picture of what would happen if I go ahead with the relationship. However, the only challenge for me despite the lovely story line was the actors that played the parental role, for God sake, they didn't put life to the act at allllll. The beards was off for me, cos there wasn't a need for it, it looked fake. The mother didn't put emotions as well, if Zainab Balogun had played that role, dammit, would have been the bomb. Though, she could have tried to be better. Also, the part that really got me laughing hard was when she went to apologize to her daughter. The way she said 'I'm sorry' and ran away was was epic. 🤣🤣🤣 Typical Nigerian mothers, having difficulties saying sorry. The Doctor played a beautiful role, not the regular we are made to watch. Asides all these, I enjoyed the movie, rating it 8/10 that's why I added it to my list for friends weekend watch.

Towards the end of the Nigerian movie "Strain", there was an information which says that 25% of Nigerians have Sickle Cell Gene, and 150,000 babies are born every year with a Sickle Cell and 70% of them do not live till the age of 5! I am not sure why is the number so high when most of the European countries are dealing with a percentage of 0.00008! Anyway, this disease and its effects were used for a screenplay and a story which was supposed to be some kind of a family drama... but it looked more of a soap opera episode with bad dialogues, awful acting and simply boring cinematography. Warning: waste of time!
