Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o is basking in the glory of her new movie ‘A Quiet Place: Day One.’
The horror prequel to the Quiet Place film series was made on a budget of 67 million U.S. dollars.
The movie has grossed over 226 million U.S. dollars worldwide.
The biggest market for the movie has been China, Mexico (where Lupita was born) the UK, Australia and South Korea.
Critics have given the movie positive reviews and have praised Lupita’s performance.
In the movie, Lupita plays Sammy a young woman dying from cancer who now has to face an alien monster attack.
The Guardian described the movie as stylish and satisfying while praising Lupita’s role.
“It could be the idea of setting the Quiet Place prequel in New York, one of the noisiest places on Earth. Or perhaps it’s because the intimate, taut horror premise of the first two pictures is beefed up with some robust city-smashing disaster movie muscle,”
“Maybe it’s the casting of the always excellent Lupita Nyong’o in a textured and complex role – she plays Sam, a poet and a terminal cancer patient who just wants to live a little before she dies.” The Guardian wrote.
Lupita Nyong’o is a renowned American-based Kenyan actress who has captured the hearts of many with her dynamic performances on screen.
