Black Widows

I came across this film online and I have to say, I was very surprised with the great way the director showed a sensitive subject! I truly LovedLoved this movie , great actors/actress and love the story line. Black widow by far one of the very best movies I've watched in a while ,giving 10 stars out of 10 as this movie reminds me of a friendship I had as a child.

9 stars

Honestly, I thought it was decent. Some of the acting could have been better, and some of the scenes begged to be shot differently, but ultimately I think viewers can just appreciate what the movie was about. Black Widows is a commentary on modern rape culture (which is itself so disgusting it's basically satire). Men have this ultra- shitty tendency to blame women for their own rapes (i.e. she wanted to find a guy so she had sex early in the relationship, she'd had sex with him before, they were dating, etc.). That kind of destructive thinking is subverted by the writing in the movie. Sure, you could watch it and blame Darcy for what happened to her, but *you* would be the asshole, since the movie made it clear she was just a normal person who got hurt by someone she trusted. Thought it was a nice addition to the conversation surrounding rape culture.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable black comedy about revenge that gets out of hand. Three friends band together to get even for a devastating assault. Of course no one will listen to or believe the victim, so they set out to balance the scales of justice--but justice tips over into disaster as the playbook goes out the window on the first encounter.

Director Ozols-Graham has done miracles with a tiny budget--squeezing every single bit of production value out of every well-crafted sequence. And she manages to keep the story tripping along the balance beam of black humor and dramatic horror. This mix of genres has created a truly interesting and entertaining film.

Emotions trump CGI and humor jumps out as effectively as the unexpected plot twist. Black Widows is worth your time. Enjoy!

to be fair this type of humor is not my style so its hard for me to give it an objective review

the humor was little smarmy (again not my type of comedy) but the subject was really real. i mean honestly how many times has this come thru mind? probably more than is comfortable. its a what if on dead end and abusive relationships

there were def some great other moments like it seems almost unreal that some people would be that misogynistic but somewhere you know its happening to someone out there

and a midnight desert killing is always great in a movie

see at your own risk - the subject matter even tho its done comedic-like will at least make you think twice!
