Hotel Choco dives deep into the raw realities of life in the water slums of Lagos. The film follows two sisters who, after enduring a series of unfortunate events, chase a glimmer of hope in the bustling city. The pacing has this ebb and flow, like the tides, drawing you into their world. The atmosphere is thick with tension and despair, yet there are moments of quiet resilience that shine through. The performances feel genuine, especially in the way they capture the sisters' bond and struggles. What stands out is how it doesn’t shy away from the harshness of their environment, using practical effects to enhance the authenticity.
