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.

Their chemistry was great and one of my favorite parts about the fil…

The story was stereotypical in places, though for this progressive white guy, it was…

"The Woman King shares an immensely captivating, culturally significant story about the Agojie, a unit of female warriors who fight to protect their own. Viola Davis shines, but Thuso Mbedu delivers one of the best feature film debut performances I've ever witnessed.
The anti-slavery, anti-racism and equal human rights messages are well conveyed, but the authentic, emo…
