Really impressed
This movie panned out to be better than expected I watched it three times already. The story line and the role Viola Davis took on she really impressed me with doing more than exceptional for her role in this film. I love the culture and the dignity of these women in the film. I loved Izogie and Amenza's role awesome! This is a different take to most roles women have in films nowadays and was really refreshing to see how strong woman can be and can be most trusted to protect a man in power and his kingdom. You won't regret looking at this film I do like when actresses are called to perform in a role outside the norm.
