Funke Akindele's 'Behind The Scene' Criticized for Excess Over Depth in Family Drama

Funke Akindele's movie "Behind The Scene," directed by Tunde Olaoye, features a star-studded Nollywood cast including Destiny Etiko, Ibrahim Chatta, and Iyabo Ojo. The film attempts to explore themes of family dynamics and self-neglect but falls short by exaggerating its core narrative and oversimplifying situations.

It follows the story of Aderonke, a wealthy real estate mogul who fakes her death to test her family's true intentions towards her. The film's controversial narrative choice of a successful businesswoman faking her death to reveal emotional truths is critiqued for lacking logical storytelling.
