Lmao the only reason the French were in Dehomey to begin with was to END slavery. Dehomians were one of the main perpetrators of the Atlantic Slave Trade, killing all of their rivals or enslaving them and selling them off. Its hilarious how they are trying to rewrite history to make Whites look "evil" even when we tried to help them. 0/10

The Woman King suffers from its attempt to be a blockbuster. The African kingdom of Dahomey is fascinating but the story needs less Hollywood. A realistic, unfiltered depiction could've made a strong best picture contender.

As disingenuous in its historical revisionism as the actors' African accents, it's a commercial movie that sells empowerment when it's actually offering submission, with unnecessary subplots and a sweeten portrayal of the ferocity of the Dahomey Amazons. It gives the impression that it hides the lack of a clear position on slavery with superficial samples of African folklore.

Man I love every time an action movie comes out that reminds us the genre can have depth and themes and true character work. That there can be style and practical effects and grounded action. In the wave of the MCU this is such a breath of fresh air. The action is slick but the drama and characteriz More

Oh come on with the good reviews, even if she wasn't an evil slave trader, the film comes across as a melodramatic propaganda piece from start to finish...

... but then again, it was a melodramatic propaganda piece from start to finish...

... but that's not why it's one of the movies with a hu More

Better than I expected, but not as good as I hoped.

I don't care about the historical inaccuracies. There's no historical epic in existence that hasn't taken some liberties with the details, many far moreso than this.

What surprised me is that, despite Nanisca being top-billed, being the face More

The Woman King is a touching film that balances the dramatic tone with high octane action delivering a compelling experience. With a powerhouse cast, there is plenty of fantastic performances throughout the entire film. Lashana Lynch was brilliant in this film, she presents herself with a hard exter More
