EditThe Kitchen (2019)

Don’t let the title of this film mislead you into thinking that it is in any way related to the culinary topic. Believe it or not, but this is actually a criminal drama. Set in the New York of the dramatic 1970s, “The Kitchen” follows the struggles of three women - Claire Walsh (Elisabeth Moss), Ruby O’Carroll (Tiffany Haddish), and Kathy Brennan (Melissa McCarthy. What is the common between these ladies? Except the fact that their husbands are all in prison ‘thanks’ to FBI, nothing. Until the need to take care of their families and pay the bills forces Claire, Ruby and Kathy to learn new skills. Well, it’n not like learning how to typewrite or how to cook a dinner for 10 guests, these are more specific skills. More how to kill people, how outsmart merciless gangsters and how to show that the place of women does not belong (only) in the kitchen. Not in the traditional meaning of this phrase, anyway.
