After their criminal husbands are killed, four women take fate into their own hands in Steve McQueen’s sharp, gripping heist thriller.
Debt, danger and grief collide in WIDOWS, Steve McQueen’s electrifying reworking of Lynda La Plante’s crime drama. When four men die during a failed robbery, their wives are left to clean up the wreckage — and repay what is owed. Led by Viola Davis in commanding form, a group of women with nothing in common seize control of their own survival.
Rialto Recommends WIDOWS is a heist thriller with nerve, intelligence and serious firepower. Steve McQueen takes a story of debt and grief and turns it into something sharper: a portrait of women forced to stop cleaning up after men and start taking control. Led by a superb Viola Davis, it is tense, stylish and deeply satisfying - crime cinema with brains, muscle and a knockout emotional charge.
