Widows – The Movie That Proves Women Can Do Anything
There are few movies that can boast a cast as impressive as Widows. With Viola Davis at the helm, this movie is a must-see for fans of crime dramas, strong female leads, and impeccable cinematography. But what really sets this film apart from others in its genre is its ability to not only entertain but also challenge expectations and spark important conversations about issues facing women in society today.
First, let’s talk about the plot. Widows follows the story of four women who have lost their criminal husbands in a heist gone wrong. Rather than accept their fate and move on, the widows band together to finish what their husbands started. As they navigate through a dangerous world of politics and corruption, they prove that women are just as capable as men – if not more so.
The casting for this movie was spot on. Viola Davis is fierce as Veronica Rawlings, the leader of the widow pack. Michelle Rodriguez brings her signature grit to the role of Linda Perelli, while Elizabeth Debicki shines as Alice Gunner – a character who undergoes a remarkable transformation throughout the film. And who could forget Cynthia Erivo’s scene-stealing performance as Belle? These women prove that they can hold their own against any male actor in Hollywood.
But what really sets this film apart from others in its genre is its ability to tackle important social issues head-on without sacrificing entertainment value. Writer Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) masterfully weaves themes of sexism and racism throughout the story without feeling preachy or heavy-handed.
“The movie speaks directly to our current moment,” says Davis in an interview with NPR. “It’s talking about empowering women, it’s talking about race relations, it’s talking about politics.”
Director Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) brings his trademark style to this film with stunning visuals and an intense score. The cinematography is nothing short of breathtaking, from the opening shot of Chicago’s skyline to the final heist scene.
But Widows isn’t just about flashy visuals and strong performances. It also highlights the struggles and sacrifices that women make in order to succeed in a male-dominated world. Veronica is constantly undermined by the men around her, but she never backs down. Linda is faced with financial struggles after her husband’s death but refuses to give up her business. Alice must confront her abusive past and find the strength to stand up for herself.
The film has received critical acclaim since its release in November 2018, earning a 91% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and numerous award nominations, including a BAFTA nomination for Best Actress for Davis.
“The movie is tense, twisty, and keeps you guessing until the very end,” says film critic James Berardinelli of ReelViews.net. “What makes it special, however, is the way it uses its characters to explore issues of race, gender, and empowerment.”
Of course, no film is without its flaws. Some critics have criticized the pacing of the movie or certain plot points that they feel are too convenient. But overall, Widows stands as a triumph in modern cinema – a reminder that women are just as capable as men and deserve to have their voices heard.
In an industry where female-led movies are still woefully underrepresented, Widows is a welcome breath of fresh air. It proves that audiences want to see complex female characters taking charge and breaking societal norms. And with Viola Davis leading the charge, this movie is not one to be missed.
