‘The Woman King’ is One Big Messy and Bloated Epic [Capsule]

September 10, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

I have to run to a 12:10 screening of “No Bears,” but just to say I didn’t feel the same high certain critics felt with Gina Prince-Bythewood‘s “The Woman King.” It’s a mostly bloated and messy epic about black female warriors. Any momentum that gets built up in this 134-minute movie is quickly destroyed by constantly unnecessary narrative interruptions. The action is also very choppy. Prince-Bythewood did a better job directing the thrills in Netflix’s decent “The Old Guard.” However, Viola Davis is good as General Nanisca of The Dahomey army. Ditto Lashana Lynch, who easily gets best in show awards here, too bad she has a very supporting role. At least the costumes are great? Of note, the Dahomey were a notorious slave kingdom, and NOT Pan-African freedom fighters such as how what the film depicts them to be. They enslaved and murdered hundreds of thousands.
