We’re returning to the works of Steve McQueen after a long hiatus, this time diving into Widows. This heist drama follows four women who, after their criminal husbands are killed in a heist gone wrong, are forced to finish the job in order to save their lives and secure their futures. With a cast that is stupidly stacked like no other, the film stars Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, Cynthia Erivo, Colin Farrell, Daniel Kaluuya, Robert Duvall, Liam Neeson, Carrie Coon, Brian Tyree Henry, and Jackie Weaver, each bringing their A-game. McQueen’s direction shines as he explores the darker corners of Chicago’s social and political landscape. And while we certainly disagreed about the impact of some scenes, let’s just say that we may have landed in a strangely similar place by the end.
