Review of Widows (2018)

By J.r. Kinnard (152) for PopMatters (2,617) on 15 Nov 2018

Widows is a shameless crowd pleaser with just enough smarts to elevate it a bit above the ranks of mere guilty pleasure…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Michael Heaton (182) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 15 Nov 2018

Widows fires on all cylinders and there isn't a false step in the whole movie, which is pretty amazing considering it has more moving parts…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 15 Nov 2018

At every turn, corruption oozes from the pores of this thriller, and although the film’s tone keeps us on edge, Widows also hits a few perfunctory…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 15 Nov 2018

Widows works best as a slow-burn thriller, a masterclass of patient reveals and cleverly withheld information (which, as any fan of her knows,…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Cameron Meier (130) for Orlando Weekly (1,048) on 15 Nov 2018

The cinematic equivalent of a half-baked turducken…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Tim Grierson (1,482) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 15 Nov 2018

Sure, Widows is a dynamite entertainment, but it’s also more mournful, thought-provoking and intelligent than that…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Karen Gordon (174) for Original Cin (1,156) on 15 Nov 2018

In spite of all the talent, in the end, the success of a heist movie is in whether you buy the movie’s twists and turns…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Mark Feeney (434) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 15 Nov 2018

All movies are phony. What, you think beautiful people doing ugly things on a screen is real? Some movies are phonier than others…

Review of Widows (2018)

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for New York Times (5,786) on 15 Nov 2018

The result is a fascinating and sometimes frustrating hybrid, a film that tries both to transcend and to exploit its genre…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Kristian M. Lin (336) for Fort Worth Weekly (325) on 15 Nov 2018

My first thought is, Geez, why did no one think to give Davis her own movie until now…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Nov 2018

For all its cynicism, the movie floats on a darkly exhilarating brand of escapism. It’s one of the year’s highlights in any genre…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Moira Macdonald (1,892) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 14 Nov 2018

Widows is smart, soulful and surprising in every frame, weaving statements on race, gender, crime and grief into a tick-tock (and tip-top) heist plot…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Cary Darling (452) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 14 Nov 2018

Powered by an understated performance by Viola Davis, Widows shows what can be done within the boundaries of the expected while delivering…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Dennis Schwartz (5,456) for Ozus' World Movie Reviews (5,456) on 14 Nov 2018

A crowd-pleasing violent urban heist drama that features tough women…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 14 Nov 2018

This clearly qualifies as a heist film, and a hugely entertaining one, notwithstanding a few plot perforations and a running time of two hours…

Review of Widows (2018)

By William Bibbiani (788) for IGN (1,013) on 14 Nov 2018

Widows is so severe and reserved a picture that it never quite works as a thriller, but it’s so mired in conventional thriller storytelling…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Tom Meek (408) for Cambridge Day (227) on 14 Nov 2018

An embarrassment of riches in the casting…

Review of Widows (2018)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 14 Nov 2018

The resulting script offers the seriousness one anticipates from McQueen and the switchbacks and turns one expects from Flynn…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 14 Nov 2018

The premise is a borderline gimmick, but director Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) invests the movie with enough grit — it's set in the world…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Anne Cohen (87) for Refinery29 (181) on 14 Nov 2018
