      Steve D Everyone involved were trying too hard. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Love, love, love this movie. The nitwit son is too stupid to be believed; but, the story is certainly worth a watch. Watch it a second time and you will pick up so much more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Agree with the crowd on this one. Delicious Deceit. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A diverting and well-acted English period piece with just the right mix of comedy and mystery. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review joe m Pleasant period piece with good performances all around and a murder mystery that runs in the more to Murder, She Wrote than to Agatha Christie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Even Joan Plowright couldnt save this stinker. Natasha Richardson was awful. BUT I also made the most AMAZING discovery: Mia Farrow & Gwyneth Paltrow look alike! Yes, they really do, watch this film & get a good look at Mia. I never noticed the resemblance before, its in the cheekbones & eyes. Maybe because they are both Jewish?? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Sheila Johnston Independent (UK) Widows' Peak is chiefly a comedy, and the main weakness is the choice of director -- John Irvin -- who is best known for action movies and, on this evidence, should stick with them. Nov 13, 2017 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Widow's Peak is another of those sly, witty, quietly ribald comedies that have been coming out of Ireland in the last few years. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Not since The Crying Game have audiences huddled so steadfastly to keep a secret. Widow's Peak is great fun. Rated: 3/4 Feb 25, 2022 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Fine Line is trying to lure the same female viewers that embraced Enchanted April to htis mediocre comedy-mystery, starring Mia Farrow in her first non-Wood Allen picture; Joan Plowright as a domineering widow steals the show--again. Rated: C Dec 22, 2006 Full Review Thomas Delapa Boulder Weekly Rated: 3/5 Nov 4, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
