Livingston Public Library: Tuesday Night Movie: THE WOMAN KING

Press release from the Livingston Public Library:

December 13, 2022

For our next Tuesday Night Movie, we’ll be screening Gina Prince-Bythewood’s 2022 film The Woman King!

Since its release this fall, the film has received glowing reviews. The Hollywood Reporter called The Woman King “a crowd-pleasing epic – think Braveheart with Black women.” RogerEbert.com wrote that “the magnitude and the awe this movie inspires are what epics like Gladiator and Braveheart are all about.” IndieWire raved that it’s “a hell of a time at the movies, a seemingly ‘niche’ topic with great appeal, the sort of battle-heavy feature that will likely engender plenty of hoots and hollers.” And the BBC summed up their review by saying, it’s a “spectacular action-filled epic,” and “a splashy popcorn movie with a social conscience.”

This event is free and open to the public, with no registration required.

The film is rated PG-13, and runs 2 hours, 15 minutes. It will be screened in English with English subtitles for the hard of hearing.
