Acting was excellent, and I love Viola Davis. Didn't know until I did some post-movie googling that I found out it's based on an old TV show. I went in totally because of the director Steve McQueen and Davis.

Race as an issue was ever present but wasn't voiced until the latter half of the movie, especially with McQueen's choice to cast a black actress as the main character. I remember from some interview that McQueen deliberately chose a love scene as the beginning, one with an interracial couple no less.

And I really feel for Davis' character, too, to find out that their marriage ultimately meant nothing to her white husband, whom she loved till the very end. I couldn't say I enjoyed the film per se, but I do think it's an excellent movie that's worth watching.

    I found Uncle Liam, Colin Farrell, to punish uncle, and accompany a few women in a play that I don't know so-called. There are too many things, such as women's awakening, race, politics, power, class, guns, etc. What exactly they want to express, I guess the director himself can't tell. This is the drawback of being too ambitious, wanting everything, but not knowing everything. The rhythm is slow, even if there is interspersed flashbacks to reversals, it seems tasteless. As for acting skills, the stories are too boring to tell, what's the point of acting

    Nothing wrong with the director, I blame Gillian Flynn.

Widows quotes

  • Jack Mulligan: Have you ever slept with a black guy?

    Siobhan: Sorry?

    Jack Mulligan: You heard me, have you ever slept with a black guy?

    Siobhan: What does that have to do with Jamal? Or anyth...

    Jack Mulligan: Just answer the fucking question.

    Siobhan: We're in a situation where you could lose everything. You've got the IGs and the feds breathing down your neck, you got Jamal Manning climbing in the polls and all you're concerned about is if your dick is bigger than his?

    Jack Mulligan: Well what are we fighting for? This? I mean do you know how many shootings happened in this city last weekend alone? Thirty four! These people are killing each other! This is not where I want to raise my children. What are we fighting for, exactly! I feel suffocated. I'm a Mulligan, I'm my mother's son, God rest her soul. The shit she had to put up with from my father!

    Siobhan: I'm putting up with it too, Jack. That's what adults do.

    Jack Mulligan: I never wanted to be in this fucking business. That what this is. It's a fucking business! Christ, I just wanna be free of this shit. Can't take it anymore.

    Siobhan: Wake the fuck up, Jack. You are not going to pussy out now. What are you going to do, work in a bank? Take the train downtown, punch a clock? This is your life. This is our life, it's what we do. Everyone has a fucking sob story, most of them better than yours, so if the idea is to be mayor one day, you better man the fuck up!

    Jack Mulligan: Jesus... Dollar signs of empty promises. Everyone who thinks different are fooling themselves. That's the God's honest truth.

  • Harry Rawlings: Why couldn't you just sell the book to Jamal and leave it at that? Ronnie, you're not supposed to be here.

    Veronica: You left me alone, you evil bastard. You wanted to start a new life with your son and your new white happy family.

    Harry Rawlings: I couldn't save him, Ronnie! I couldn't save us! I had to save me! Me!

    Veronica: You're a fucking coward!
