In this quaint Irish comedy about a remote town run by the large number of widows, who are led by the monarchical Mrs. Counihan (Joan Plowright), Natasha Richardson is a newly arrived English widow who brings sex appeal and the possibility of mischief when she starts courting Counihan's befuddled son (Adrian Dunbar). This sets in motion a mystery akin to an Agatha Christie tale, led by suspicious Mia Farrow. The setup is fine and the acting first-rate, but the final act forces its hand far too soon. What starts off as an accessible film turns into a prize only for those who liked Enchanted April and similar movies. --Doug Thomas

4 out of 5 stars Great Cast.......2007-05-25

This is an enjoyable movie, and kept me guessing somewhat throughout. I did expect more of a story since there is such a wonderful cast, but still very entertaining.

4 out of 5 stars Eireannach Fuil Dtiocfaidh Amach.......2007-03-23

Outside the adult industry, it's rare to see a film in which the cast is so predominantly female. Okay, I know by saying what I just did I've alienated many potential helpful voters among those most thoroughly Irish-American stripe who adored this estrogen-heavy production, so let me play it straight from here on out and tell you that Widow's Peak is a charismatic little mystery that's definitely better than most of what gets made nowadays on either side of the Atlantic. It is about one Edwina Broome, (played by Natasha Richardson) a glamorous young woman from "the outside" who in the late 1920's rents a cottage and comes to stay in a small Irish town dominated by a clique of middle-aged widows headed by the patrician Mrs. Doyle-Counihan, portrayed to a T by the great Joan Plowright. Edwina soon sets the teeth of these dominant widows on edge with her modernity and flirtatiousness, as well as her mysterious past, plus what's worse she easily infatuates Godfrey, pampered son of an appalled Mrs. Doyle-Counihan. A clash of wills ensues, Edwina is rapidly at odds with the prim and severe Miss O'Hare (none other than Mia Farrow) who devotes herself to both uncovering the real reason Edwina has come to town, and to wrecking Edwina's chances of social advancement within the community. The film peaks (no pun intended...no, honestly) with scandalous revelations about Edwina's recent deeds, and with a disappearance that surely must be the result of murder most foul. In the end the story delivers up its secrets amid a heaping helping of good old-fashioned justice-cum-revenge. Widow's Peak makes excellent use of its Irish setting and cast and nails quite well the insular nature of small town life in generations' past. It's a quiet pseudo-masterpiece of its particular genre.

5 out of 5 stars Charming, delightful with a twist!.......2007-01-31

One of my very favorites, Widows Peak emotes the charm of the period and the cast is top notch! Finally bought one for myself to enjoy whenever and one for a great Christmas gift for a friend.

5 out of 5 stars Great Movie.......2007-01-10

This movie was a complete surprise. It had a surprise ending and was thoroughly engrossing.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent brain teaser.......2007-01-10

Mia Farrow is not my favorite actress, but I love her in this. She's awesome, covers her tracks, and the end just rocked me. I've watched this movie a half dozen times before I finally bought it. It's great for a "girl's night", but men like it, too. Suspenseful in that innocent British way, and incredible acting. Not too many movies surprise me with their ending.

    3 out of 5 stars 'Widows' proves that there is definitely life after death !.......2003-02-04

    I've always had a lot of time for the acting abilities of Mercedes Reuhl ('The Lost Child,' `What's Cooking?') and so with expectations high I put the DVD in, sat back, cracked open a cold one and readied myself for another great performance. Yes, I know that you're all now expecting me to ... all over her performance, but where Mercedes maintained a completely unflappable acting disposition, it has to be said that both eternally-annoying Rosie Perez and the emotion-lazy Brooke Shields both combined in trying their hardest in bringing this movie to its grazed knees ! 'Widows' is based on a British mini-series of the same name from back in the late 80s and whereas that was a six-parter, this is just a long ... two hours and forty-five minutes ! Colm Feore ('The Wrong Guy,' `The Red Violin') as Mr. Stein the luxury art gallery owner is a slow-paced delight to behold and, as you don't have to think too hard to figure out what the probable outcome will be, you can at the very least sit back, kick back and enjoy the penetratingly-hypnotic acting abilities of the great Mercedes Reuhl.[website]

      Airdate: 3/11/07 - The U.S. relies on coal for half its electricity, so is the demand for coal so great that some mine owners are sacrificing safety for profit? That is what some widows in Harlan County, Kentucky, claim. Their husbands are among the 47 men who died in mining accidents last year, the deadliest year in mining in decades. These widows tell Bob Simon that their husbands' deaths could have been prevented, but a lawyer for one mine says mining is just a dangerous job.

A la mort de sa mère, Laurence se met en tête de retrouver Renée, sa grand-mère, qu'elle n'a pas revue depuis l'enfance. Renée ne manifeste aucun enthousiasme à la vue de sa petite-fille...

Un art composé de quelques règles élémentaires: séduire un homme riche, l'épouser dès que possible, s'en libérer rapidement, discrètement mais définitivement, empocher ensuite son assurance vie, profiter égoïstement et... renouveler. Laurence se laisse former par cette étrange grand-mère. Mais le jeu n'est pas sans risque... pour ce duo infernal et pour les hommes qu'elles vont croiser...
