THE WOMAN KING – Official Trailer
The Woman King is the remarkable story of the Agojie, the all-female unit of warriors who protected the African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen. Inspired by true events, The Woman King follows the emotionally epic journey of General Nanisca (Viola Davis) as she trains the next generation of recruits and readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life. Some things are worth fighting for.
Directed by: Gina Prince-Bythewood  
See The Woman King rise exclusively in cinemas September 16.

This is the only scene we get between Willow and her mother or any parental figure and it’s because of just this one scene alone that we’re able to understand why Willow is the way she is with the control freak streaks and the rebellious or entitled attitude every now and again, as well as the issue with quick fixes and her problematic relationship with consent. The problem is though… I don’t buy it. Meaning I don’t see Sheila as an abusive, neglectful, nor even controlling parent. I see her as ignorant and a little overprotective or overbearing. Expecting more from Willow than is realistic or even feasible. But I do not view her as someone who doesn’t care about her daughter’s life or well being or education as per the way Willow paints her relationship with her mother. I view Xander’s parents that way because there’s convincing evidence for it. But both Sheila and Joyce come across as very strict but loving parents to their daughters and therefore it leads me to believe that the majority of Willow’s issues don’t stem from her home life but rather her school life instead. Her home life makes her seem more like a sheltered child that isn’t really allowed to venture outside of her expected and compliant behaviour and that probably explains why she wants to be rebellious and do the taboo every once in awhile but it doesn’t really explain why she has control or consent issues nor wants the easy way out when things go wrong and her emotions run high enough to trigger her anxiety. It doesn’t really explain why she is power hungry or wants to exact vengeance or has repressed sadism. All these issues that I constantly talk about that encapsulate Willow’s morally grey characterization aren’t explained by her home life. Only her school life where she’s constantly picked on and made to feel like she is unwanted.
But I’ve had people attest to me that Sheila and Willow’s home life is a major factor for her complex trauma. So in the interest of learning more, can someone explain as clearly and coherently as possible why this apparently is? I really just don’t see it at all. And the thing is is that besides Willow narrating the stories of her home life - other than this scene - there really is no convincing evidence for the perspective that Willow’s home life informs her character representation or development. So… why?
I mean this scene basically tells us that her mother is so neglectful and physically unavailable to Willow that she doesn’t even know who her best friend is or her boyfriend. Didn’t even know she was dating Oz for what must have been a year by this point in the show. Didn’t know she cut her hair. Didn’t know she was getting into trouble at school. Didn’t know anything.
And I’m sorry but I just don’t buy it.
There must be something I’m missing.
This is the way my mother treats me and I have never and will never refer to it as abusive. Just how it is.

Man in a Suitcase: The Whisper (1.16, ITC, 1968)
"McGill! Don't be contemptuous, nor disbelieve me. I do know things. Be careful! I see death when I look at you... walking by your side."
"Oh, well don't worry about him, sir, we're old friends."
#man in a suitcase#the whisper#itc#classic tv#1968#charles crichton#morris farhi#richard bradford#patrick allen#colin blakely#sheila brennan#clifton jones#wallas eaton#patrick jordan#jerold wells#brian hawksley#didi perego#tommy ansah#michael williamson#dick offord#another somewhat challenging episode... there's enough depth to the central character study of Blakely's priest here‚ and the plot is#honestly rich enough‚ to stand a full film treatment‚ perhaps even a novel. it's wonderfully mature and probing television of a kind itc#rarely bothered with; unfortunately it's also problematic in its handling of race and its treatment of Africa. the attitude towards the#african characters is largely condescending (with a beautifully measured performance from Clifton Jones the exception) and the character#responses are tricky. Pat Allen's plantation owner is of course an ignorant and repugnant racist with white supremacist assumptions but it#takes McGill WAY too long to actually react to that (and by extension‚ perhaps‚ it takes the script too long also). he gets a brief#broadly anti colonial monologue at the end of the ep‚ but there's little to show he truly appreciates the issues; nor is there ever any#evidence that his opinion is ever influenced by the black characters around him‚ instead his railing against Allen seems to come as much#from his own personal dislike of the man and his growing understanding of Blakely as he is now (and not as he was in the files and reports)#Bradford‚ incidentally‚ was delighted to find Blakely had been cast in the series again‚ and writer Farhi was similarly starstruck

Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: Honorable Mentions - The Woman King (dir. Gina Prince-Bythewood)
Tumblr media
I don't really know what to say about this one except that it is a straight-down-the-middle home run of a film. It's entertaining, it's moving, the acting is great, the cinematography is amazing, and not only is the cast made up of almost entirely of BIPOC, it's made up almost entirely of BIPOC women. We love to see women supporting women on film, and The Woman King is the ultimate action-adventure film to embody that spirit. Again, this is a very classically good film.
Currently streaming on Netflix. Read my full review of The Woman King here.
