Empowering Filmmakers: The Role Of Ratings And Constructive Critque

Nollywood has grown from a grassroots video market to a global film industry. Its movies now appear on international streaming platforms and reach audiences far beyond Nigeria. This growth brings more attention and, with it, more public judgment. In today’s digital world, ratings and reviews are not just about popularity. They help shape a filmmaker’s journey, offering useful feedback that helps them improve, reach their audience better, and build their craft.

As the industry grows, many believe it needs better ways to judge movies. Setting clear standards for things like story, acting, and production helps filmmakers see how their work is received. At the same time, critics and viewers need to consider Nigeria’s culture and background when reviewing films. A good review should balance quality with cultural meaning. In Nollywood today, helpful criticism is not just useful, it is necessary.
