Black Widows

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!

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.

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!

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!

Its not often that an Indi flick takes me by surprise like Black Widows did. This fun, corky, sexy movie is perfect if you're tired of overly complex Hollywood flop Blockbusters.

The acting was great and the film looks good for an Indi.

The central theme of the movie is about a group of life long friends who find themselves in a life changing situation. They band together and take charge of the situation and their lives.

Sprinkled with some comedy and quick one-lines, it makes for a great ride!

Definitely worth it!
