The movie explores the power of  human connection and mental health awareness. Aisha embarked on a journey of self healing after a painful past. The cinematography was very colorful and artsy, while the location and settings were good and matched the cinematographer's vision. The soundtrack was great, and the actors looked good. Tiwa Savage's performance as Aisha was exceptional, and she captured the essence of her character's struggle with grace. "Water and Garri " is a movie that falls short of expectations, despite the promise of its premise . The movie's plot, which revolves around Aisha's journey of self-discovery, lacks depth and fails to engage viewers .The  storytelling is predictable and disjointed .   Overall, the movie's shortcomings make it a disappointing watch.                                     _Rhammy_

It offers a more nuanced plot, excellent casting choices, costumes that are true to the period it was set in, and an uncommon feature you barely find in Nollywood films: good writing.
