Black Widows

I loved this film...it took me back to the 60's and the dark comedies like Putney Swope and early Peter Sellers movies...I love the dark yet subtle laughs of those films...and if you didn't get it...well we were not going to the movies again! The fact that the ladies were falling in "murder" all the time just cracked me up.I was blown away by the actress who played "Nora" Bridget Graham..this is a star on the rise.It is hard to be beautiful AND funny..she stole the show.I really got a kick out of way the gals were stumbling though this nightmare...rather Marx Brothers-ish.Kick back and get ready for some giggles...The second time for me was better because I knew the punchline,as it were...and it was fun to go back in time (my 20's) and imagine a few times I wish these were my girlfriends

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.

It deals with some very serious and real issues to be sure, but there's also a lighter story of revenge here than can you have laughing at times. The main character is raped, which obviously devastates her. Luckily she has a couple concerned friends that are immediately there for her and they hatch a plan to get back at the guy that did it. Of course, nothing ever goes as planned.

It's pretty refreshing to see a film being led by some nuanced female characters and watching the movie made you feel like you were on this crazy adventure with them.

Definitely worth checking out!
