Never thought I'd be so excited about a Steve McQueen movie.

"Capable of anything" doesn't sound like it should be on a grim heist movie.

The things that I am hearing about Widows from people who have seen it are intriguing. Some people like it while other people feel a bit differently. No one seems to love it or hate it, though. It is not action-packed at all, which probably helps it with how award voters will view it, so if you are expecting another Set It Off, then the movie is not for you. It apparently has multiple storylines and deals with a lot of the local politics in Chicago. The comparisons that I am hearing are Syriana and Traffic. Everyone says that the acting, especially Daniel Kaluuya and Viola Davis, is great. It appears to be an easy SAG Ensemble winner, which means that it is probably going to receive a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars because of the actors branch, but I am not too sure about it being a Best Picture winner, though.

I think Sade is a really good music artist so this is pretty exciting in my opinion!

Hopefully this fares much better than the last movie she did a song for.

Nice to see some good reviews.

That's exciting that the reviews are good. Having a film like this in the Best Picture slate would certainly help diversify the Best Picture selection - I'm always down for different types of movies in the same selection. Hopefully this is able to do well when the release rolls around.

Fingers crossed this is a box office hit too.

The summer blockbuster hangover is getting pretty hilarious.

 

Any competently made movie that is not what bores them becomes great/fantastic.

[Valonqar]

Is it winning Popular Movie? 

 

In all seriousness, heist winner would be neat. what was the last one, the French Connection?

Alternatively, you could ascribe ridiculous imaginary motivations to strangers about a film you haven't seen.
