Answer
The 2018 movie Widows was directed by Steve McQueen, who had previously worked more in the indie prodction pipeline prior to the larger-scale Widows produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox. The crime-heist movie transplants the UK setting of the original miniseries to Chicago, IL (the windy city). Lead character Veronica Rawlings (Viola Davis) is a no-nonsense character who is very matter-of-fact about pointing out the faults of the women with whom she is organizing the heist. She brings her dog Olivia everywhere and always asks before setting her down. She also intimidates the heck out of a woman in a sauna at a health club, causing her to leave.
