The CinePearl Take

The Set Up is a 2019 English film in the drama mould — expect character-driven, emotional storytelling. Niyi Akinmolayan directs. With 8 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in Nigeria, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 2019, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 103 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
