From the director of Hunger, Shame and 12 Years A Slave, we wanted to make sure audiences didn’t miss out on Steve McQueen’s latest film Widows. With four fierce female leads, a $2 million heist and a Chicago mayoral race treading the line between politics and organised crime, we made sure the film didn’t leave cinemas until London & Manchester had one more screening - with a few extras of course.
ABOUT WIDOWS
From Academy Award winning director Steve McQueen ("12 Years a Slave") and co-writer and bestselling author Gillian Flynn ("Gone Girl") comes a blistering, modern-day thriller set against the backdrop of crime, passion and corruption. "Widows" is the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands' criminal activities. Set in contemporary Chicago, amid a time of turmoil, tensions build when Veronica (Oscar (R) winner Viola Davis), Alice (Elizabeth Debicki), Linda (Michelle Rodriguez) and Belle (Cynthia Erivo) take their fate into their own hands and conspire to forge a future on their own terms. "Widows" also stars Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall, Daniel Kaluuya, Lukas Haas and Brian Tyree Henry.
