four things you need to know about this movie:
1. it completely and utterly rules from start to finish, and is *so* smart about everything from capitalism to camera placement.
2. Viola Davis carries around an adorable Westie for virtually the entire film.
3. Elizabeth Debicki's performance inspired me to say the word "stan" out loud for the first time in my entire stupid life.
4. anyone with cable will watch this on TV no less than 300 times in the next two years.
Gillian Flynn every morning when she wakes up to write: oh I gotta remind everyone that men are trash
Entire cast is great. Daniel Kaluuya is the stand-out for me. Guy has range.

this movie is a beautiful magic trick. everything about it screams “boilerplate bargain bin thriller,” but the performances are so captivating and the writing is so focused that it manages to feel... like a prestige movie? pun not intended. even with an undercooked b-story, it’s very smart, surprisingly funny, cynical, and perfectly structured. ya done it again, stevie micks!!
everybody in this movie is very good, but... got damn... daniel fuckin’ kaluuya!!!! viola fuckin’ davis!!!! cynthia fuckin’ erivo!!!! a preemptive “fuck the academy” for ALL y’alls oscar snubs!!!
steve mcqueen and gillian flynn writing the script: yeah we support men’s rights!
them writing the last half hour: men’s rights to shut the fuck up!!!!!!

In seemingly an instant, a car holding a prospective Chicago alderman cruises from the projects to his gated, gentrified estate on the outskirts of the 18th ward. The windows are tinted, and Steve McQueen's camera lingers on the exterior of the car and the environment it passes through, with the audio tuned into the conversation inside the vehicle. Never does the featured dialogue mention the people as a collective body worth saving, but merely as polls, numbers, statistics of a victory of whiteness and old money, all while the world passes by, unnoticed and uncared for. Widows confronts the idea of homogeneity within the American system as an unwavering obstacle that can only be fought via assimilation. To succeed…
someone: h-
me: CAN SOMEONE HAND DANIEL KALUUYA A FUCKING OSCAR STRAIGHT AWAY LIKE THROW IT AT HIS HAND NOW PLEASE WITH LOTS OF FORCE SORT OF LIKE YEET
The only problem with this movie is it should have been like eight hours longer because I did not want it to end ever.
