Honestly, I thought it was decent. Some of the acting could have been better, and some of the scenes begged to be shot differently, but ultimately I think viewers can just appreciate what the movie was about. Black Widows is a commentary on modern rape culture (which is itself so disgusting it's basically satire). Men have this ultra- shitty tendency to blame women for their own rapes (i.e. she wanted to find a guy so she had sex early in the relationship, she'd had sex with him before, they were dating, etc.). That kind of destructive thinking is subverted by the writing in the movie. Sure, you could watch it and blame Darcy for what happened to her, but *you* would be the asshole, since the movie made it clear she was just a normal person who got hurt by someone she trusted. Thought it was a nice addition to the conversation surrounding rape culture.
