Rolando R This felt like I was watching a play that was adapted into film by TUBI not Netflix. The entire script feels like it was made using A.I...."hey chatGPT, make me a movie script with a plot twist at the end" and the software mixed John Q, AirHeads, and Fight Club with a cast from Meet The Browns. Teyana Taylor should never be asked to do a film again....she over acted her 15 lines of dialog trying to be black female David Caruso in CSI Miami. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Tracy M Edge of your seat kind of movie. The plot twist at the end really ties it all together. The movie focuses on Janiyah and Nicole most of the time, and does lack depth and development for other characters. Overall, I think Tyler Perry has grown in his storytelling and directing, as this film is more captivating than past films from TPS. It was unpredictable from beginning to end and I was hanging in the entire time for what came next. This movie truly is underrated and is very enjoyable. Best film of the year. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Cindy A I recently watched Straw, and it was such an emotional experience for me. The movie touches on resilience, vulnerability, and the quiet moments of struggle that many people go through but rarely speak about. Taraji’s performance felt raw and honest, showing the weight of trying to hold everything together when life feels like it’s falling apart. What stood out to me was how the film captured small, everyday moments that build up to a breaking point, reminding us that it’s okay to ask for help and to acknowledge our pain. I found myself tearing up, reflecting on my own life and the times I’ve tried to be strong while hiding how overwhelmed I was. Straw is more than just a movie; it’s a reminder of the strength it takes to keep going and the beauty of finally letting yourself be seen. If you’re looking for a film that will touch your heart and make you think deeply about what it means to carry heavy loads in silence, this is worth watching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review carolyn m What a stinker. The movie takes place in a matter of hours and yet her hairstyle changes halfway through. She's the only person dripping sweat throughout the entire movie and yet is offered a coat to keep her warm in the bank. So inconsistent. TPH and Shepherd can't save this mess. I usually enjoy Perry's movies but not this one. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review wagner c Especialmente o roteiro aborda muitos temos pesados como o papel da mulher negra na sociedade, o colapso mental de uma genitora com todos os seus limites testados, porem Perry quer chocar o espectador com um plot twist no final, que mesmo revendo já conhecendo ainda fez menos sentido pra mim Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Mark M A film certainly worth watching. It has a John Q style but this time, instead of Denzil Washington, we are given a powerful performance by Taraji P Henson who beautifully portrays a women pushed to the edge.
