A Widow’s Game (2025)

This film on Netflix is the English-dubbed version of a Spanish true crime story called, “La viuda negra” – the Black Widow. It would have probably been better if the English title said that: we would have got the inference immediately.

The plot is based on the murder of the engineer Antonio Navarro Cerdán [es], stabbed to death in a garage of Patraix (Valencia) on 16 August 2017. The widow, nurse ‘Maje’, and the latter’s lover and workmate Salva Rodrigo are condemned as perpetrators.

Amen.
