I found the movie to be very captivation, brutal sometimes.
The story of the last queen to role algeirs was beautifully told, showing this algerian historical figure in more derails making her more relatable.
But yet giving younger generation a glimpse of the history of the region which is something that should be done more often due to the rich history of the north African region in general and the vast/rich algerian history.
The leading actress was really great in her role as the queen of algiers make us relive that period of time and so as the rest of the cast.
Amazing work, I really recommend it.

When you see the Algerian heritage present in any movie, be sure that you will see a masterpiece 🤝
Algerian old clothes document a golden period experienced by Algeria, and the sophistication that characterized the Algerians at the time .
The Algerian history & heritage is very diverse and rich, considering Algeria is the largest African and Arab country, but it is not very touristic, Through the film anyone can search and discover this great country since ancient times Queen Zafira, the wife of Selim Toumi, was a strong personality throughout history. She designed the Algerian dress called "Karakou", which is a point in the sea of very wonderful traditional Algerian fashion. Ok, I hope this is not the first and last movie about Algerian history,and hope to see more and more creativity and to introduce us to cultures that we may have been ignorant of.

Very beautiful movie about Algeria before the Ottomans. Full of historical facts, I also loved the algerian traditional dresses. The movie is well made, the characters are so real just like you are living in that time, it takes you back to an important time of an algerian history. Algeria, has amazing history. What you saw in the movie is just a fraction of that country have been through. A fact that a lady confronts pirates and invasions show the courage and bravery of the queen Zafira, she is an example of an Algerian brave woman and how she fought for her country so hard, a must watch movie full action.
"Algerian Queen" is a captivating movie that delves into the rich heritage and power dynamics of Algeria.
The movie explores the themes of tradition, gender roles, and power struggles that are prevalent in Algerian culture.
Overall, "Algerian Queen" is a must-see movie for anyone interested in exploring the rich history and culture of Algeria. It is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience .
I feel sorry for bad reviews from Moroccans who trying to give bad reviews just because they have issues with Algeria without even watching the movie.
I would definitely recommend this piece of art for everyone.

First and foremost I loved this movie which is probably one of the best historical fictions on the Arab world since Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven.
The press reviews were not bad but frankly when I was watching it and quickly understood it has been completely underrated. The main actress (Adila Bendimerad) is litterally amazing and what to say about Dali Benssalah which is again delivering a monumental performance after the Netflix' released Athena movie.
The movie's decor, costumes and landscapes are beautiful even though it can't be compared to Hollywood for the outdoor settings (only expect natural ones, because re-generating 1500' Algiers seemed to be out of budget). Interior ones are more than compensating it and costumes and cinematography are awesome.
The plot itself is great and sticking well to a credible history with a great cast making it lively and enjoyable, especially the pirates.
There is also a great pleasure to hear real, north african dialect.
If you love history, action, romance, and beauty in a movie this is a must see.
