"While Ocean's 8 is a fun addition to the all-female heist genre, the ensemble cast's tough-as-nails performances elevate Widows into being not only the best heist movie of the year, but one of the best movies of the year, period. I mean, how could I possibly pick a favourite character? Viola Davis's Veronica is intelligent beyond belief, the owner of the most perfect dog alive, and ready to take down anyone and everyone who gets in her way. Elizabeth Debicki's raw vulnerability as Alice? Devastating (and devastatingly good). Even the scare-you-sh*tless villains — Brian Tyree Henry and Daniel Kaluuya's Manning brothers — are painfully good. If you need me, I'll be sending a personal thank you note to director Steve McQueen for bringing this film into existence." — QK
