Lunathi Q @Lunathi 1d Straw is a powerful film that ultimately finds its footing. What begins feeling familiar and slightly uncertain grows into an emotionally honest and compelling story, carried by strong performances — especially Taraji, with solid support from Teyana, Rockmond, and the rest of the cast. My one real criticism lies in the final twist. While ambitious, it feels unnecessary and somewhat disconnected from the emotional journey the film has already completed. The story had earned a natural ending, and the added twist slightly undermines that trust. Sometimes restraint is the most powerful choice — art doesn’t always need to explain itself further. See more Hannah J @MuzzaL991 Dec 29 Absolutely incredible. Gripping from the first few seconds, immaculate acting, totally worth a watch. Cried my eyes out! See more Camila Renata J @Aspen112 Dec 28 Plain script. Boring. I couldn't even finish the movie. See more Yuli C @yuli1155 Dec 20 Taraji P. Henson is pretty incredible. This movie made me cry. Wasn’t expecting the psychological thriller twist at the end, it felt like it wasn’t necessary and dint quite make sense. See more Shannon J @JustSomeGirl Dec 14 Borderline unwatchable. Let me start by saying the actors are all amazing! However, the writing and directing is a whole mess. This movie is WAYYYY over the top and nothing is believable it’s just a mess. No other word can explain it. I really wanted to like it because I love the actors but yikes. See more Bear G Dec 13 Henson and Shephard manage to keep this poorly written and, frankly, poorly directed John Q clone of a movie afloat because of their stand out acting and onscreen chemistry which was deserving of a much more high quality piece of cinema that they had to work with. Extremely wooden acting from all other characters, and an even more eye-rolling, cliché-ridden script can't keep this treading water even in the mediocre section. It's a shame, it had moments of real potential when the acting duo put on a class, but alas, it had far more moments of just out-and-out cringe fest. See more Read all reviews
