Common Sense Says

Above-average crime drama has language, violence, sex.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Widows is a mature crime/caper thriller in which a group of women (Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, and Elizabeth Debicki) whose criminal husbands all died on the same job decide to work together to pull off a big heist so they can pay their debts. Violence includes bloody shootings (many of which are fatal), a deadly explosion, evidence of physical abuse against women, brief animal cruelty, and more. You can also expect frequent strong language ("f--k," "s--t," the "N" word, and and more), and some drinking. A sex scene includes naked breasts and a bottom. Colin Farrell, Daniel Kaluuya, and Liam Neeson co-star.
