‘Desperate Widows’ Review: This unsettling human trafficking film on a mother-daughter duo is perfect for Women’s Day<\/h2>\n

\u2018Desperate Widows\u2019 releases on the eve of Women\u2019s Day… In it, every woman will find their story told!
\nBy Bhagyasri Chaudhury<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to mark \u2018Desperate Widows\u2019 as just another mediocre film, but that\u2019s exactly what it’s not. On the surface, you see a bunch of well-dressed women trying to make the best use of the dialogues, which sometimes seems so natural, it risks being branded as “bad acting”. The Lifetime movie begins with a crime, following which the rest of it showcases the tale in broad daylight in a sunny cafe or a bright farm with uplifting music.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re looking for your daily dose of on-the-face horror or gore that usually comes along with human trafficking films, Lane Shefter Bishop\u2019s newest thriller might not cut it for you. With its pastel palettes and polite yet wicked conversations, the movie does not aim to shock with the gruesome but unsettle with its slow-moving storyline and deliberate dosage of sweet talk.<\/p>\n
