I just finished watching the Woman King and it was absolutely amazing. As a Nigerian who was born in Benin, they got so much of the architecture, fashion, hairstyles, dances, and other cultural traditions right. It's surreal to see the culture that my parents witnessed and passed down represented on the big screen in America, when 15 years ago being African was shameful. The cinematography is beautiful and you can almost feel, taste, and smell you were there. White people and men weren't the focus of the film and you can feel the power of sisterhood that the majority Black female cast had. The storyline kept on me on the edge of my seat. And the beautiful, beautiful actresses and actors just enthralled me. Despite all the BS surrounding it, I give it a 10/10. Movie of the year an.d one of the best I ever watched.
The Woman King is one of the best movies I ever watched, controversy be damned

The movie is good. It's not historically accurate but you can't expect historicity from mainstream Hollywood.
@kingofnyc say it with your chest, clown
A lot of people prefer a beautiful lie to an ugly truth. That is perfectly fine that they do.
I personally prefer to accept the truth, no matter the warts it may possess. I feel there is no way to truly overcome the past, unless the truth about it is understood and the negatives not repeated.
*edit: I am also glad that you are not being disingenuous in your reasons for supporting the movie. It is refreshing to see someone supporting it being honest on the reason why.
