🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Citation is a gripping thriller that masterfully uses the academic world as a microcosm for societal corruption. Director Kunle Afolayan builds a palpable atmosphere of paranoia, where every glance may hold a threat and every alliance could be a trap.

What lingers after the screen fades is not just a tale of defiance, but a profound meditation on institutional power and the psychological cost of truth-telling in a broken system. A film that resonates with quiet urgency. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Kunle Afolayan

The oppressive weight of institutional power, the charged silence of scholarly spaces, a constant, simmering sense of peril.
