Touted as the best performance of the year, Elevator Baby lives up to its expectations. It is an amazing movie with a good storyline injected with minimal humour, not too over the top and you get to see stellar performances from all the actors.

Toyin Abraham was actually over 7 months pregnant in the movie and knowing how talented she is, it’s no surprise she pulled it off. Timini Egbuson outdid himself as well and deserves more accolades.

Please don’t call me madam, my name is Abigail

It’s no wonder the lead actors Toyin Abraham and Timini Egbuson won AMVCA awards for their excellent performances in Elevator baby.

The movie #Elevatorbaby gave me two of my biggest awards so far: Best Actor in a drama in Africa at the AMVCA’s and the Future awards prize for acting. #WatchTimini

Elevator Baby follows the chance encounter and the drama that ensues between a spoilt, wealthy, quick-tempered young man Dare (Timini Egbuson) who got stuck in an elevator with a very pregnant, crass and not-so-privileged woman Abigail (Toyin Abraham) as she goes into labour.

Elevator baby produced by Niyi Akinmolayan was directed by one of the youngest Directors in Nollwood Akhigbe Ilozobhie and wait for it……it was his directorial debut!

“1hour 23 minutes of pure unadulterated fun and entertainment”
——Timini

Another fun fact was that the ‘Elevator’ wasn’t actually an elevator!
