Critic Reviews
The Return of Arinzo (2026) Review: Too Many Films in One
The Return of Arinzo is Iyabo Ojo's star-packed Nollywood sequel about a woman who resurfaces as her husband runs for president, a thriller that never finds its focus.
Mostly no. Fans of the cast may enjoy individual scenes, but most viewers will find this political revenge thriller overstuffed, uneven and far too long.
