Widows's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
"It's one of the most entertaining thrillers of the last years. The brutal and daring film of McQueen is his fourth consecutive success"
Variety
"An entertaining and dark vision of ordinary lives (...) The best of 'Widows' is how it gets us to connect with their desperated heroins"
The Hollywood Reporter
"An absorbing and criminal drama with a psichological charge (...) McQueen and the photography director Sean Bobbitt find unexpected ways to perform and film generic scenes"
Indiewire
"Viola Davis offers an impressive acting (...) 'Widows' works so well thanks to the way McQueen balance substance with entertainment with subversive aims"
Screen Daily
"An intelligent and entertaining drama (...) With its high level of cinematography, it's a film for people who loves films and it's also a film for multiroom cinemas"
Vanity Fair
"It's the kind of studio film we wish they were done more often, an author having a lots of fun who at the same time pays attention to its more serious restlessness. (...) You come out of the cinema with the feeling that you have just watched something excellent"
The Wrap
"Even though 'Widows' can be powerful and dramatic, the director doesn't seem interested on the complicated robbery that in theory lifts the plot"
The Playlist
"'Widows' is with no doubt a good film who shows greatness. However, sometimes it gives you the feeling that, in some time of the process, McQueen had to decide whether doing something banal or art"
Cinemanía
"It's the action thriller of the year. (...) Oscar performances"
Fotogramas
"'Widows' know how to combine thriller, drama and comedy (...) McQueen abuse from plot twists (...) However, the thriller confirms an authentic training"
