Award Winning Independent Cinema

A blistering, modern-day thriller set against the backdrop of crime, passion and corruption: the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands’ criminal activities. Steve McQueen’s film is a strikingly contemporary reworking of Lynda La Plante’s ground-breaking 1980s television series, relocating the action to Chicago, with a local election exposing race and class conflict, along with political corruption, in urban America. Always deeply satisfying as a heist film, but never simply that, these ass-kicking widows have some glass ceilings to shatter into a million tiny pieces.
