How do I await the forEach function so that I can console.log(posters)?

  let posters = [];

  reviews.forEach(async (review) => {
    // Get posters for reviews
    await axios.get(`https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/${review.filmId}?api_key=${tmdb_api}&language=en-US`)
      .then((data) => {
        posters.push(data.data.poster_path)
      })
      .catch((error) => console.log(error))
  })
  
  console.log(posters)

Important: I cannot put the console.log inside the .then() because I need the filled posters array outside of the forEach function.
