One ideology stays clear in Nollywood: You can always count on Nse Ikpe-Etim to give you the performance of a lifetime. She is and will always be the kind of actor that understands the assignment regardless the intense transformation it requires. From ‘Reloaded’ to the latest addition ‘Mambas Diamonds’, her acting receipts are magnificent.
She easily stands notice among a crowded slate of A-lister pictures and charmingly sanitizes average pictures into becoming something worth the while. To her craft, every title is a showcase and as such requires the best from her magnetic screen presence.
For our weekend watch list this week, we have curated some of her best works for your viewing pleasure. Stay safe and let the Nse watch list begin.
