Hedge Productions has struck gold with Devil Is a Liar, weaving a story that lays bare the fragile threads of love, marriage, and societal pressure. Directed by Moses Inwang and written by Tunde Babalola, with Esse Odometa as producer and Onome Odometa as executive producer, the film centers on Adaora, portrayed with breathtaking depth by Nse Ikpe-Etim.

Her journey through a maze of betrayal and unrelenting expectations mirrors the silent battles many endure, where ambition and family collide with devastating consequences. The film’s raw honesty strikes a universal chord, making it more than a story—it’s a mirror held up to the complexities of human connection.

The ensemble cast—James Gardiner, Nancy Isime, Erica Nlewedim, and Mercy Aigbe—brings electric chemistry, each performance amplifying the emotional stakes of Adaora’s world.

At its private screening in Lagos’ Nahous Gallery, the film sparked more than applause; it ignited hushed conversations among guests, who dissected Adaora’s choices and saw their own lives reflected in her struggles. “We wanted to confront the realities people whisper about but rarely see on screen,” Esse Odometa shared, emphasizing the film’s mission to expose the sacrifices and courage buried in relationships. The stunning cinematography and layered storytelling elevate these themes, blending Nollywood’s soul with a polish that rivals global cinema.

Hedge Productions, a beacon of bold African storytelling, builds on its legacy with this project, following their 2021 hit The Therapist and with Nemesis on the horizon. Devil Is a Liar doesn’t shy away from hard truths, presenting love without gloss and marriage without pretense.

Its rise to Netflix’s No. 1 spot in Nigeria underscores its resonance, inviting viewers to linger on its questions long after the screen fades. This is Nollywood at its most fearless—a film that demands reflection and sparks dialogue about the weight we carry in the name of love.

In Summary

Devil Is a Liar is streaming now on Netflix, following the success of Hedge Productions’ The Therapist on Prime Video, with their third feature, Nemesis, coming soon to captivate audiences further.
