Thank God I read the book. This movie version does not do Chimamanda's story justice at all. They tried to do too much within just this one movie that clearly should have been broken down to capture the MULTIPLE stories within the main plot (I also agree with the miniseries idea). Most of the actors did not fit the roles- Kainene was NOT supposed to be as...open, as she was in the movie, for instance. There was a reason they were written a certain way in the novel, and sadly, whoever produced this movie did not understand this. I couldn't even focus on the movie long enough because the acting was just too cringe-worthy for the most part and the story line was way too superficial. Ugh, I'm so disappointed - READ THE BOOK!
