White Widow (2023) User Reviews

Watchable

[phuckracistgop · 7/10 · 28 February 2024]

Natalie should have followed her first impulse when she encountered Andrew at the Airport. Out of all the male characters in this movie, he scored the lowest in regards to redeemable qualities.

As for Andrew's untimely demise, well for one there was nothing Natalie could do at the time. She was already doubting her relationship with Andrew after the phone call to Israel. So knowing that he cut out on Natalie earlier in the morning and arrives late with the other woman, I would imagined shock from the initial explosion, and two from seeing him with the other woman.

So the premise that Natalie played a role in what happened, scored a big fat Zero. Now her suffering PTSD and seducing the naive Irish lad, well I can see that happening, because she did vacillate between sanity and out there on a limb while stringing along the young dude.

So as for the acting, not bad and I felt that the Natalie character was well acted, but the I caused something that I had to run from, as opposed to a traumatic experience caused me a bunch of issues that I handled by having strange sex with a total stranger after leading him through a strange day.

Fantastic Film...

Fabulous cast and extremely interesting plot - gripping from start to finish!

A true and in depth film showcasing the complexities of love and grief. An artistic and beautifully shot film that cleverly captures the aftermath of heartbreak and how the characters handle it.

Loved the difference in backdrops from Africa and London.

Personally I am a firm supporter of productions and producers dedicated to exploring themes like heartbreak, grief, and compassion through the lens of human experiences. This film truly and firmly captures the essence of impactful and dramatic cinematic storytelling which illuminates the human experience.

Very much enjoyed by the whole family and we would highly recommend it.

Great film

[laura-76849 · 10/10 · 9 May 2024]

Great cast, great story, and a very interesting twist. This movie had me gripped from the start. You think you know where it's going, then WHAM! Plot twist that'll leave you speechless. The acting is phenomenal. Seriously, top-notch performance.

The story itself is intense, you can't help but root for the main character even when things get crazy. It's one of those movies that stays with you long after the credits roll, making you think "wow, that was powerful."

If you're looking for a film that will take you on a wild ride and leave you wanting more, this is it! 10/10, would absolutely recommend to anyone who can handle a good dose of action and suspense.

Beautiful and thought-provoking

[xzwgvwmdp · 9/10 · 8 May 2024]

Beautifully shot across Africa and UK (shout out to London Town!), with a talented cast that deliver more than a femme fatale tale (as might be expected from the title). Thought provoking in the events that unfold, and how the characters react to these. Intrigued by Adelaide Clemens' Natalie, and her performance of such a complex character. A reflection of life's intricacies. For me it beautifully demonstrates that we are after all emotional beings, where rationale and reason are secondary reactions, and passion rules. Kim Bodnia's performance also deserves special mention. Love him in almost everything he's in!

Superb film

[dzgmhrrvhn · 9/10 · 9 May 2024]

Many twist and turns, cinematography is phenomenal and the acting, for such young, is incredible. There is a lot of emotional ups and downs. The directing keeps you highly engaged and the characters are so well developed. I really liked the dialogue although the time switches were sometimes hard to keep track with. There were a lot of darker moments which were quite emotional. The opening scene is beautiful and makes for a highly nostalgic entré to the film. There are few films these days, where I find predicting the ending is actually hard, but this definitely delivers the unexpected. Highly recommend!

A definite 10/10 recommendation for those seeking an adrenaline rush.

Very well filmed and edited clearly a top team involved in the films production and post production.

Stunning locations, excellent cast

[sjbrady-54640 · 10/10 · 10 May 2024]

Visually stunning, such beautiful locations in this film. Excellent, intriguing story telling, with some really strong performances from the cast. Loved Kim Bodnia's character! Rory Fleck Byrne's performance definitely worth a mention too, really well cast. Adelaide is magnetic- giving a thought provoking performance. Good to see a complex female protagonist with a rich story. Take the lead, and Adelaide absolutely owns this role, it's really her film and as an audience member you are right there with her the entire way.

Unexpected twists and turns, with some very atmospheric music for this emotional journey and stunning cinematography.
