Synopsis
Director Steve McQueen follows up his award-winning 12 Years a Slave with this explosive thriller about four women (Viola Davis, Elizabeth Debicki, Michelle Rodriguez, and Cynthia Erivo) who find themselves in an impossible position after the deaths of their husbands. It turns out their husbands were criminals, heavily indebted to some bad people – and that debt will need to be repaid by the wives in their stead. And so the women decide to work together to complete the heist their husbands failed to, forging their own futures along the way. The film was co-written by McQueen and Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl), and also stars Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Jon Bernthal, Robert Duvall, Daniel Kaluuya, Garret Dillahunt, Lukas Haas, Carrie Coon, and Brian Tyree Henry.

Atom User Reviews
It was good, but the TV commercial makes it look better than it really is.
Good movie until the ending...felt like it was a rush to the end
Metacritic
McQueen has made a big, pulpy crowd-pleaser, but he uses it to tell a story with real meaning. Widows is methodical in its imagery and gracefully written; it’s also a suspenseful blast, best seen with the biggest, most animated audience possible.
It’s a lot of plot for one sitting, but Widows will remind you of how massively entertaining crime movies can be, especially when they’re animated by the spirit of cool-headed capability, on and offscreen.
It’s all deliciously fun and deliriously devious, but Widows isn’t just an exercise in sheer escapism.
