When the elegant Edwina Broome moves to Kilshannon, a small town in Ireland, she must contend with the local matriarchs, particularly the feisty Mrs. Doyle-Counihan and the guarded Miss Katherine O'Hare, who immediately clash with the new arrival. As the three women verbally spar and scheme, certain secrets eventually come to light, revealing that their quaint village may not be so proper after all.

Sheila Johnston Independent (UK) Nov 13, 2017
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. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
3.5/4
Widow's Peak is another of those sly, witty, quietly ribald comedies that have been coming out of Ireland in the last few years. Go to Full Review
