Our take
Red Sonja retells the warrior origin of the She-Devil with a Sword after tragedy. Rated R for strong and bloody violence. Expect sword fights, decapitations, blood sprays, and dark fantasy peril. Thin on language evidence; violence is the main concern
Story (may spoil tone)
A young girl rises from the ashes of tragedy to become the most feared warrior woman of all time: the She-Devil with a Sword.

Talk after watching
- Sonja rises from loss into a fighter role. How does grief shape identity?
- Power and revenge pull against mercy. Where should payback stop?
- Fantasy violence can look stylized but still feel brutal. How do you read tone?
