“An eye-opening work” (Africa is a Country)
“Quite an accomplished work.” — Femi Euba (Louisiana State University)
“This was beyond anything I had imagined.” — Peyibomi Ṣóyínká-Airewele (Ithaca State University)
“There haven’t been many films that detail the life of any great Nigerian writer (at least while they are still alive) as Kọ́lá Túbọ̀sún’s Ebrohimie Road: A Museum of Memory.” — Nzube Nlebedim (Afapinen)
“The documentary seems genuinely invested in introducing viewers to the house at 8, Ebrohimie Road, University of Ibadan, one of the locations central to the artist’s formation.” —IfeOluwa Nihinlola (Isele Magazine)
“The documentary’s biggest achievement lies in the way it humanises Wole Soyinka by shining a bright light on the Nobel laureate’s private life away from his books.”
—Toni Kan (The Lagos Review)
“The documentary — with cinematography by Tunde Kelani — peers into an itinerant, adventurous, and rebellious phase in the dramatist, poet, and novelist’s life.”
—Michael Chiedoziem Chukwudera (Open Country Magazine)
“What unfolds in the film is a meditation on place, memory, and legacy.” (Dr. Yéwándé Okùlẹ́yẹ)
“The film’s power lies in its kaleidoscopic approach to storytelling. We hear from Soyinka’s daughters, whose childhood memories vividly depict a home alive with creativity and warmth… Ebrohimie Road is more than just a documentary; it is a living, breathing archive of memories.” —Mosunmola Adeojo (The Cable)
“The film’s cinematography, helmed by Tunde Kelani, heightens the sense of nostalgia in recurring drone shots of this campus residence and its once-green grounds, which, over time, have been encroached by concrete and civilisation. The film’s covert campaign, it appears, is a reconsideration of Soyinka’s former home as a place worthy of preservation and restoration.” —Dami Ajayi (The British Blacklist)
