The Woman King

i absolutely enjoy the story of nanisca. i need a sequel RN. my only critiques about this movie is why are they in south africa speaking in west african accents & the sugarcoating of the true story of the dahomey which is digusting. BUT OVERALL SO MF GOOD.
9/10👸🏿

I don't like Hollywood whitewashing, so I didn't like whatever this was. It's the same old pathetic, good guys vs bad guys to get a point across. I feel like it does the total opposite of what it tries to achieve. The only people I see loving this would be people who ignore the reality of what's on screen. Talking of screen, I thought the cinematography was way too underutilised. I've seen documentaries with breathtaking visuals of Africa, the only thing took was my patience. I turned it off 20 minutes before it ended, right when the climax hit because the pacing and sub-stories were awful. The acting and costumes were decent, not sure about the accents or casting, and I only felt the intense score in 3 short scenes.

Viola davis eats everytime.

5/5
Wish the last fight scene had a little more to it. She needed to put him through worseee. Otherwise, this was a great movie. Viola Davis is the literal best. She does it every time.

Such an empowering movie!

A predictable epic story structure within a unique backdrop that has its scenes guided along with a somewhat skewed logic. Though optimistic with good intentions, the apparent historical inaccuracies might have held this back from being a more grounded narrative. Action is cool…
