There's Speculation That "The Woman King" Audience Score And Reviews On Rotten Tomatoes Are Manufactured
"The Woman King" is a 2022 drama about the Agojie, an all-female warrior unit that protected the West African kingdom of Dahoney in the 1820s. Viola Davis stars as the protagonist who trains the next generation of warriors. The movie is being propped up as an empowering film for women and minorities.
Hollywood has been promoting The Woman King as a film that empowers black women because of a controversial African queen as the protagonist. It was inspired by true events, allegedly, and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. The movie tells the story of the most powerful all-women army in world history, but there has been some backlash about the role that the Dahomey Kingdom played in the Atlantic slave trade. Even so, the film is being especially propped up by the media and said to be widely praised by critics. However, there is much speculation online that the reviews for the film are being fabricated in order to generate interest.
