- TriviaProducer Maria Bello visited Benin in West Africa to research the Agojie, and returned to the US, convinced she had found a great movie pitch. The project then stayed in development hell for years, first at STX (which only offered $5 million for the budget), then at TriStar. Only after the massive success of Pantera Negra (2018) was the film greenlit with a $50 million budget.
- ErroresThe Dahomey Mino (or Dahomey Amazons) did not fight to end slavery but were in fact prolific slavers themselves. The Dahomey enslaved thousands of fellow Africans until the kingdom was defeated by the French in 1894.
- Créditos curiososThere's a mid-credits scene, in which Amenza is seen performing a memorial ceremony for her fallen sisters, pouring salt and whiskey over their weapons. She says their names aloud, and the last name we hear is Breonna.

Opinión destacada
The Woman King (2022) is a movie my wife and I caught in theatres last night. The storyline follows an African kingdom with a new(er) king in 1823 who posses the only female army in Africa. The leader of the female Army has a past that haunts her but the respect of her king, enough to be on his council. She strongly urges him to avoid the slave trade and find alternative methods of riches. Meanwhile, those who do believe strongly in the slave trade look to march on the kingdom and bring them down. A new recruitment class to the female army brings brashness, new ideas to defend the kingdom, and the female leader's ghosts back to the forefront...
This movie is directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love & Basketball) and stars Viola Davis (The Help), Thuso Mbedu (The Underground Railroad), Lashana Lynch (No Time to Die), Sheila Atim (Doctor Strange: In the Mouth of Madness), John Boyega (Star Wars: Episode VII-IV) and Jimmy Odukoya (Mamba's Diamond).
This movie has so much depth and contains a great primary plot and even better sub plots. The writing is remarkable, thorough and very impressive. The character's inner demons are well portrayed as is their struggle to overcome them. The acting is out of this world across the board. You feel for every character; and if anything happens to anyone, you feel personally hurt. The villains were also excellent as is the outcome of each of them. The settings and cinematography is outstanding and there is impressive use of lighting. The action scenes are remarkable and the fight choreography is award winning caliber. My only complaint is an awkward love story that is obviously in here to show maturity and self discovery but I could have done without it.
Overall, this movie has literally everything you'd want in a movie - tremendous action, great villains, self discovery and character triumph. I would strongly, strongly recommend seeing this movie and score it a 10/10. We loved it.
