ENTERTAINING
I planned to watch a horror movie but its showing time didn’t fit into the schedule, so I decided to watch The Woman King.
I’ve been hearing about it but I was going to wait until it was available on HBO or some other platform. Anyways, I saw it and it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. I’ve been thinking about what could’ve been better in it but I’ve been drawing blanks. I give it a 10/10. Let me know what you think if you have seen it.
