Expectations are running high for this movie among fans of author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and particularly Nigerian audiences, who will have to wait another two weeks for general release, risking a field day by the country's rampant pirate DVD industry.
It brings to the big screen Adichie's Orange Prize-winning novel, and also stars the "man of the moment" Chiwetel Ejiofor, who partnered with the Oscar-winning Lupita Nyong'o to such stunning effect in the recent movie "12 Years a Slave".
