- Rating:
- This film adaptation received harsh criticism from viewers as well as Achebe. The author was not happy with the intense violence shown and felt that directors and filmmakers took too much liberty in connecting the plot to violence during the Biafran War. The movie blends elements from both Things Fall Apart and another of Achebe’s novels, No Longer at Ease.
