Review of Widows (2018)

By Tom Shone (158) for Sunday Times (UK) (753) on 05 Nov 2018

So deftly has McQueen cut this diamond in front of our eyes, I was practically levitating with pleasure…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Mark Kermode (1,002) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 04 Nov 2018

Widows is a sinewy treat that seamlessly intertwines close-up character studies, big-picture politics and audaciously reimagined heist-movie riffs…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Donald Clarke (1,051) for Irish Times (1,391) on 02 Nov 2018

There are worse faults than cramming too much good stuff into an insufficiently enormous package…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Kevin Maher (647) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 02 Nov 2018

[Davis] seems unable to deliver substandard work and is here fabulously controlled as a grieving widow, a wannabe criminal, a heartbroken mother,…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 02 Nov 2018

In fact nothing much about Widows is credible, a fact that jars somewhat with its sententious mood. But it's so well made, that almost doesn't matter…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Brian Viner (589) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 01 Nov 2018

The central story doesn't have enough room to breathe, and therefore never seems real. Still, you might enjoy suspending your disbelief…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Nigel Andrews (1,359) for Financial Times (1,822) on 31 Oct 2018

You don't know where it's going until it ends. Then you realise that, to become the masterwork it is, it couldn't have gone anywhere else…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Trevor Johnston (624) for Radio Times (2,421) on 31 Oct 2018

An accessible, slick, unashamedly commercial offering which delivers unexpected food for thought without neglecting genre-savvy twists, reveals…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Stephen Silver (684) for Splice Today (140) on 24 Oct 2018

Successfully fusing two unlikely genres, it's both a traditional heist picture and a trenchant political and social commentary. (Broad Street…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Punch Drunk Critics (518) on 24 Oct 2018

Widows is a rare bird, indeed; a thriller of blockbuster scope with the artistry of a prestige drama…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Jazz Tangcay (23) for Awards Daily (23) on 21 Oct 2018

Widows is superb. It's even better the second time around. A brilliant, edge-of-your-seat film. You couldn't ask for a better director or cast…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Rebecca Liu (10) for Another Gaze (53) on 18 Oct 2018

This is not some faux-empowerment story dressed up in infantilising 'girl power' credo…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Malik Adan (19) for Film Threat (5,156) on 16 Oct 2018

The film is a brisk, engrossing narrative that weaves this story with engaging dialogue, incredible one-liners, and the kind of slow burn that…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Nathan Osborne (34) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 15 Oct 2018

Widows manages to feel like old-school filmmaking but it is fantastically contemporary in its themes and refreshing female angle…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Matt Looker (202) for TheShiznit.co.uk (506) on 14 Oct 2018

These widows discover that they can work through their grief as long as there is a substantial will. Heh…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Max Covill (13) for Film School Rejects (1,198) on 14 Oct 2018

McQueen shows he can make a big studio picture in a way that few other directors even attempt…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Joshua Rothkopf (1,058) for Time Out (7,510) on 11 Oct 2018

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…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Jacob Knight (117) for Birth.Movies.Death. (774) on 11 Oct 2018

Steve McQueen makes this slice of high pulp a gloriously fun time at the movies…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Geoffrey Macnab (1,253) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 10 Oct 2018

McQueen deals with bereavement, race, gender and class at the same time as telling a riproaring story about a group of widows who need to get…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Emma Simmonds (380) for The List (2,018) on 10 Oct 2018

Working with a cast which bear the weight of his scrutiny, McQueen's contemplative, soul-searching style is in evidence enough without detracting…
