"The Kitchen", based on a comic-book mini series, is another gritty crime-drama involving the Mob. But what makes this stand out is that the focus is on the wives of some New York Irish mobsters who are left struggling after their husbands are arrested by the FBI. With little help from "the family" and few other options, these resourceful women decide to take over the operation run by their men. And of course, they will be a few obstacles in their path. Another highlight is the casting of performers that would not come immediately to mind for a movie like this. Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elizabeth Moss appear here as the wives and this amazing trio together makes this an intriguing must-see. Andrea Berloff, the screenwriter behind "World Trade Center" and the Oscar-nominated " Straight Outta Compton", makes her directorial debut.
"The Kitchen" is due in U.S. theaters on August 9, 2019
