The Kitchen

2019 · 103 min

A gritty, slow-burning crime drama that follows women seizing power in a brutal world, with tense confrontations and a dark, cynical edge.

Tagline: It's not a man's world anymore.
Overview: The mobster husbands of three 1978 Hell's Kitchen housewives are sent to prison by the FBI. Left with little but a sharp ax to grind, the ladies take the Irish mafia's matters into their own hands — proving unexpectedly adept at everything from running the rackets to taking out the competition… literally.
How it feels: Dark, tense, cynical and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Power, betrayal, crime, gender
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
