It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall. True to its title, “Ambivalent” leaves viewers uncertain, torn between conflicting emotions and ideas. Whether intentional or not, this ambiguity may be the film’s most enduring legacy as audiences grapple with the unanswered questions it raises.The movie narrates the story of Charlotte Wigwe, a beautiful working woman whose husband, Obinna Wiwge, a tech guru, is barely home.

The cast includes Gabriel Afolayan as Obi, Derby Frankson as Charlotte Ngozi, Anita O. James as Shade, Mercy Mordom as Karen, and Aeries Umusu as Ned. Aeries Umusu’s portrayal of Ned Williams injected an intriguing layer of complexity into the movie, enriching the narrative with depth and tension. As a charismatic lover entangled in a forbidden affair, Ned’s character grappled with conflicting emotions, fully aware of the inevitable consequences yet unable to let go.

Despite the best efforts of the cast, including notable performances by the casts, the film’s gloomy direction and uneven screenplay hinder their ability to shine. Moments that should evoke shock or intrigue instead elicit confusion and frustration as the movie struggles to find its footing amidst a sea of ambiguity.
