“Widows” Review: Viola Davis Kicks Ass, Takes Back What the Patriarchy Stole

These women aren’t ultimately just stealing the money. They’re stealing back the ability to control their own lives. To get in at least one solid kick against the rancid, putrid system that forced their backs against the wall in the first place.

“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” Review: Lesbian Biographer Lee Israel’s Story Is Safe in Melissa McCarthy’s Hands
