Review of Widows (2018) by Djakeir — 11 Feb 2019
This movie almost bored me to tears, and that would have been the most genuine exhibit of emotion this movie would see. It was a movie that had a very underwhelming and unoriginal plot but tried to make it something it wasn't, a good film.
Viola Davis was fine as the lead but offered nothing really interesting bar the occassional awkward outburst or tear that felt overstaged and took you right out of the film. Liam Neeson by his own doing has made himself irrelevant and the scenes he has with Viola Davis are just cringe worthy in light of his recent admissions.
I only watched it because of the nominations it was getting, but this film just goes to show that the biggest criminal organisation today is the academy and other award shows who steal nomiations and wards from actors, actresses and film makers who actually dare create something unique and complex.
Its exhausting watching movies so offensively boring, how dare you waste millions of dollars and my time.
