Review of The Woman King

First of, this film is sooo sooo historically incorrect it's laughable. Turning the Mahomey tribe into the heroes (they were actually the real slavers of the African tribes) only to push this feminist power agenda. Yes it is true that Mahomey used woman warriors, but this whole supersoldier nonsense again defeats the whole purpose for me. I want realistic woman doing great things, not some blackpanther wannabes. If you go into the film with that in mind and think of this as a completely fictional story then it's pretty good. Great performances all around, great music, ok cinematography. The plot as previously mentioned is twisted to fit a narrative, but the side plots between the characters is entertaining and moving. I definitely shed a tear when (sorry can't remember her name gets shot trying to escape). I as a white european have hoped for more historic African films because their history has alot to offer, hopefully this can open up to more African centred films to be made.
