Toronto 2022: 'The Woman King' Review

When I interviewed Viola Davis for Widows, she talked about how hard it was to train to carry those big, heavy bags for that film's heist scenes. I can't even imagine the workout that went into preparing for The Woman King, where she plays the leader of a formidable all-woman army in 1820s West Africa. The film starts slow, but it really gets cooking in its final stretches. I reviewed The Woman King for Screen International.
