The Woman King

Nice movie…it really show how noble the African culture is at all levels…

This only criticism I have is Thuso Mbedu is too cute to try and make an angry face. I was not buying it. The movie is still a 10 though.

Had some issues with some scenes, but all in all a good movie. I hope more movies like this are made. Definitely a MUST WATCH!

Wow...amazing. Kudos to all the actors and actresses. They all did an excellent performance

All I can say is that the whole cast should have gone to the Oscar. That was an incredible movie, I will be watching that movie a few more times. Everything was spectacular about that movie: the acting, the scenes. It was a perfect movie.

I'm not going to put any spoilers on here but it's a must see. Viola Davis really did an amazing job as well as the whole cast. I was in love with every character on that screen, everyone did their job. They left no food on the plate, everyone ate, even the extras ate, I know it sounds odd but the animals ate, they left no crumbs for us.

The movie had everything: action, an amazing story line, love, coming of age, and it was funny at times. You laugh, and you may even cry.

Finally, a movie that could hold my interest. They are so rare. Amazing story.

just Wow !! dont misss it baby !!

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 characterization work in tandem with it to create something truly special. It's a film that is inspirational not in spite of the history but because it acknowledges the history and transforms it and finds a way to make it resonate today. It shows the strength of these women and the culture while not shying away from its flaws. These black women are put up on a pedestal and asked- if not demanded- to stop feeling, that it is weak, a dereliction of duty, and the film gradually repudiates that while never denying their strength or more importantly their humanity.

And the cast gamely rises up to what they're given. Davis obviously shines as the centerpiece, putting decades of experience into a performance that is stoic, aching, charismatic, and raw in equal measures. Some of her delivery and expressions, from a wry smirk to a fond and exasperated roll of the eyes, are so good at grounding Nanisca and making her really feel like a person, just one from a different time. And while I had mixed feelings about Underground Railroad, Mbedu was never one of them, and she shines here as well. The things she can do with her eyes alone are captivating. And Boyega is charming while being hard and pragmatic enough to still keep you guessing where he'll fall. But in a cast of greats, Lasana Lynch still stands out. The charisma she has on display here makes me baffled she hasn't led a franchise yet, put her in everything.

This film is a celebration of black women while never dehumanizing them. It lets us be strong and vulnerable, stalwart and hurting, devoted and loving, in equal measure. And it's a tight, fun time to boot.

Everything Viola Davis touches turns into gold and she was great as expected. But to see Thuso Mbedu deliver an almost even spectacular performance blew my mind. This movie has so much power and so much heart. Loved it.

Great watch. I don’t usually like slave movies but this was much better than i expected. Viola Davis is an amazing actress
