Toyin Abraham’s new film My Best Friend’s Son brings a fresh and daring narrative to Nollywood, blending romance, generational tension, and emotional vulnerability.
The story centers around a woman, played by Bolaji Ogunmola, who unknowingly falls in love with her best friend’s son a serving NYSC corps member who moves into her home in Lagos.
The film explores how innocence, trust, and emotional connection can slowly morph into something deeper and more complicated. Ogunmola’s performance is natural and captivating, showing a character torn between desire and guilt.
She’s unaware at first of the corper’s identity, but when the truth surfaces, the emotional storm that follows threatens to destroy long-standing friendships.
Toyin Abraham, who plays the mother and best friend, brings her signature intensity and presence to the role. Her portrayal of a woman betrayed not only by her friend but also by her own son, adds a layer of emotional depth that makes the film more than just a love story it’s about boundaries, forgiveness, and the price of emotional risk.
The chemistry between Ogunmola and the actor playing the corper is believable and well-paced, and the film doesn’t shy away from difficult conversations about age, propriety, and moral responsibility. Directed with subtlety, the movie leans into its drama without overacting or melodrama, which has been praised by viewers online.
My Best Friend’s Son is a conversation starter one that challenges viewers to confront how far love can go before it crosses the line. It’s a worthy addition to Toyin Abraham’s growing legacy of stories that entertain while provoking thought.
