An absolute cinematic disaster.

The story of the Agojie, the all-female unit of warriors who protected the African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen, and General Nanisca as she trains the next generation of recruits and readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life.

If whispered monologues were currency, The Woman King would settle the national debt.

The Woman King confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

@REEL_DEAL2025-12-06 08:00 UTC

The Woman King is a cinematic experience designed specifically for film students who want to feel superior at dinner parties.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, The Woman King.

Hot Take: The Woman King's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Look, I wanted to love The Woman King. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Woman King?

Just got out of The Woman King and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Woman King actually is?

Honestly, The Woman King would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
