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.

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…

Such an empowering movie!

As a lover of period dramas, it was great to finally get one representative of the might of west Africans. Of course there were some dodgy accents but jimmy odukoya and Thuso Mbedu more than make up for it with their brilliant performances. African pride at its best. 7/10
