Review of Widows

Widows (2018)
5/10
When will Hollywood learn...
25 January 2019
...that making something politically correct and casting it with "inclusion" as the single guiding principle does not a masterpiece make. Or, in the case of the 2018 remake of Widows, does not even a decent movie make. As William Goldman famously said "Nobody knows anything" and this is exhibit A in that argument. I haven't been beaten over the head with this many infantile messages since I watched Crash. And, to add insult to injury, the writing is clunky and dull and the acting is proof that even the best thespians can't overcome a poor script. There are worse flicks out there but they, at least, own their badness. This one wants you to award it with Oscars. A sad reflection on the world of 2019.
