Exploring the Depths of Human Emotion: Heartwarming Nollywood Movies That Will Leave You in Tears

Brain BurstExploring the Depths of Human Emotion: Heartwarming Nollywood Movies That Will Leave You in Tears

Although sad movies don’t often have a good rap, they can provide a range of emotional and psychological benefits. They can serve as a form of catharsis, allowing viewers to experience and release pent-up emotions; a healthy way to let go of stress and frustration.

These movies often explore complex human emotions and experiences, helping viewers develop empathy for others. It can also prompt viewers to reflect on their own lives, relationships, and choices leading to personal growth and a better understanding of one’s feelings.

Here’s a list of tear-jerking Nigerian films that will evoke deep feelings.

  1. Breath of Life

You all know this is a work of art. Timi witnessing his family burn to death, Elija…nd out on Still Falling starring Sharon Ooja and Daniel Etim Effiong as lead characters.

  1. Joba

If you’ve ever hoped for something and it seemed like the more you asked, the farther it got, then Joba will be relatable. Directed by Biodun Stephen who is recognised for her tear-jerking movies, Joba follows a Christian couple who try to find a balance between their marriage and faith while waiting for God’s blessings. Their beliefs are tested when all indications show that the husband might be the cause of the problems. The film features Blossom Chukwujekwu and Enado Odigie as leads.

  1. Sista

Kehinde Bankole gave us a good ride on this one with her stellar performance. When an estranged lover returns, what choices do you make? Every other year, we hear stories of men who leave their families for another woman, rendering their partner a single parent. In Sista, it’s a little bit more complicated than that—scratch that; a lot more complicated. While trying to atone for his past sins, this “father” completely steals the attention of the children he left behind, leaving the mother on the brink of utter devastation. I highly recommend this one. Currently streaming on Prime Video, the cast includes Kehinde Bankole, Deyemi Okalanwon, Bisola Aiyeola and others.
