Review of Widows (2018) by The3Academysins — 30 Aug 2019

Widows is a really fun and gritty heist movie. The ensemble cast spearheaded by Viola Davis is incredible to watch. The camerawork is innovative, and the direction does a fantastic job of capturing the seedy underbelly of Chicago.

Gillian Flynn's script is a good follow up to Gone Girl, and does enough differently to experiment and really tell a good story. Not all of the experiments work, and there are some out of place political jabs that slow the movie down.

However, this is an engaging story about a group of women who aren't going to lie back and take what life is giving them.
