Could have been longer?


Widows (2018)

Directed by Steve McQueen this film based on the television show of the same name stars Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki and Colin Farrell. Following the death of their husbands in an armed robbery three women decide to pull off a robbery to pay their debts.

There is a lot to enjoy here but at times there were characters I wish the film had gone into more depth on, especially Carrie Coon's. The plot has a decent amount of tension and works as a genre film but I think would have been better as a mini series or full television series. Ably directed as you would expect of anything from Steve McQueen.

3/5
