The Woman King doesn’t exactly offer anything subversive when it comes to its view of warfare.
This unconventional biography casts its subject as the protagonist of his time, a mirror for the rapidly changing country in which he lived.
Objective pleasance is Safe Haven’s end game, an impossibility that suggests at least a certain twisted brand of ambition.
It’s not like critics weren’t given plenty of ammo.
The times are perfect for a quirky, carpe diem movie like Life Or Something Like It.
