Directed by Uduak Patrick, None of This Is True is the kind of gripping Nigerian emotional rollercoaster that grabs you by the throat from the opening scene and refuses to let go until the credits roll. This 2026 release delivers a powerful exploration of love, lies, betrayal, and the heavy price of living a double life—classic Nollywood territory, but executed with such intensity that it feels refreshingly real and painfully relevant.

At the center of the storm is Gold (a standout performance by Emmanuella Iloba), a woman who thinks she's finally found her dream man in Daniel (Deyemi Okanlawon at his manipulative best). Charming, attentive, seemingly all-in—Daniel sweeps her off her feet. But the fairy tale shatters when Gold discovers the brutal truth: Daniel is very much married to Kemi (Bolaji Ogunmola in a fierce, unforgettable role), with children and a whole secret family life he's been juggling behind everyone's back. And Gold? She's pregnant. Heartbroken, betrayed, and carrying his child, she faces an impossible choice: stay silent to protect her own fragile future, or blow everything up and expose the web of deception.

The script dives deep into the messy realities of infidelity, manipulation, self-worth, and the devastating cost of truth. What makes this film so compelling is how it refuses to sugarcoat the pain. The emotional collisions feel authentic, the tears earned, and the tension palpable.

The cast absolutely shines. Deyemi Okanlawon seems almost typecast in these double-life roles (fans have noticed—he's perfected the art of playing the charming liar who crumbles under pressure), and he delivers a layered, charismatic-yet-toxic performance that makes you both root for and despise Daniel. Bolaji Ogunmola as Kemi is electric, especially in those explosive angry moments—her switch to Yoruba when the rage boils over had viewers cracking up through their tears. Emmanuella Iloba brings heartbreaking vulnerability to Gold, making her pain feel visceral. The supporting cast, including Grace Obi, Oluwafemi Mitchelle, and Oluwafemi Nathan, rounds out the story beautifully.

Fans are raving, and rightfully so. One viewer shared a deeply personal connection:

"As a woman whose ex-husband lied behind my back and fathered a child with another woman... this is real. Kudos to this film. The script is brilliant, the music is perfect."

Another praised Deyemi:

"They built this Deyemi for this role... he always lives a double life in his movies and executes perfectly ."

The applause is loud and well-deserved.

I was hooked from start to finish—the pacing, the music, the raw emotion all work together seamlessly. That said, the resolution felt a tad unrealistic to me. Gold's sudden wave of remorse didn't quite land with full conviction, especially given how much Daniel was financially supporting her. A bit more backstory on her inner conflict could have made that pivot feel more earned. Still, it's a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar production.

Rating: 9/10
