Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror Aug 11
3/5
While it seems like this movie might be exaggerating facts, it really isn’t. The real case was known as “The Black Widow of Patraix”. And yes, the use of “black widow” should tell you a lot. Go to Full Review

3/5
The leads, Machi especially, acquit themselves well, but the riddles and red herrings may become too frustrating for viewers who prefer their murder yarns more open-and-shut. Go to Full Review
Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Jun 10
This police procedural plays out predictably like a TV movie, but the actors keep you engaged in the drama until the end. Go to Full Review
Santanu Das Hindustan Times Jun 5
A Widow's Game feels morbid without the stench of death, and hollow in the way it avoids confronting the banality of this evil. Go to Full Review

D+
The story isn’t just lazy and uninspired—it fails to let the audience truly know the victim, the affected family, or even the killer(s) beyond their one-note motivations. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba Jun 4
It all sounds more lurid and juicy than it plays onscreen. I’m not sure how you mess up a story this scandalous, but A Widow’s Game somehow does. Go to Full Review

Brian B Feb 23 Really started to come together toward the end. See more Pooran S @Pooran Jan 2 My 1st ever Spanish movie watch (only Spanish thing I'd ever watched b4 was the global hit Money Heist, S1 ) , and I'm glad i chanced upon this 2025 crime, thriller gem on Netflix that's based on a real case. And already have a new crush on the super talented & gorgeous Ivana Baquero who plays the titular character with such finesse that one will probably love her character for her outer beauty that portrays sweet innocence & hate her for her scheming mind and black heart . Watch it for the taut direction, excellent support cast, but above all, watch it for Ivana Baquero's stunning performance. See more Wilbert F @BOOMYBAE Dec 26 Just for you guys to know, this is my first time ever to write a review on rotten tomatoes. I really have to do this because of how suck the movie is. I hope no one will ever waste their time on this piece of garbage. See more Wayne M. @waynemaurer Nov 17 Awful!! Don’t waste your time See more Tito M @Imtito Sep 26 A Widow’s Game – 3.5/5 • Slow burn but mostly engaging • Strong central performance • Keeps you interested without being flashy • Story is simple but effective • A few predictable moments • Ending could’ve hit harder Overall: A solid, well-acted film that holds your attention. Not amazing, but definitely worth watching if you like restrained dramas. See more Alfredo Sep 19 Buen potencial, buena trama. Lástima que no se desarrolló lo suficiente. See more Read all reviews
