Tyler Perry's Acrimony might be of interest to hardcore Tyler Perry fans, but all other viewers are advised to make time for another Fatal Attraction screening instead.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader The movie has enough blinding anger to pull you along, and Perry plays around with one's sympathies by making Henson's character increasingly monstrous, but the pallid dialogue is a constant drag on the story. Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Roxana Hadadi Pajiba Acrimony is presented with a typical filmmaking choice or an absurd one, it goes with the latter. May 7, 2018 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader It's all very entertaining and dumb, the posh settings pushing the drama further into the realm of escapist fantasy. Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Ronak Kotecha The Times of India It's engaging the way Tyler takes us through the lives of his characters. And in the end, it's an oddly satisfying feeling to be left wondering, who really is the victim here Rated: 3/5 Feb 1, 2022 Full Review John Manuel Arias Mediaversity Reviews "Perry is infamous in his treatment of LGBTQ people, especially gay Black men." Rated: D Nov 27, 2021 Full Review Matt Cipolla Film Monthly Two hours of . . . lazy filmmaking and tired, harmful stereotypes against women and the mentally ill, all wearing a thin sheen of imposter silk to pass itself off as a cautionary tale. Rated: 1/5 Jul 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Takisha This was a great movie!! Didn't like the ending Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review jofe M. did they really have to use that much green screen? 👀 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Torey-Lucy T Perry does an excellent job portraying his artist. Great job as usual and waiting on part 2. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Jasmine O If you can get pass the harmful stereotypes, and an odd obscure dip into mental illness, Henson's phenomal acting as her characters becomes increasingly unhinged absolutely carries the film. You can easily take the emotional roller-coaster and conclude her anger is justified, though the revenge seemed so dramatic I almost felt like the end was an alternate ending for shock factor and definitely undeserving. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Sithembiso M For a Tyler Perry film, this is unexpectedly brilliant and captivating. A sort of film that is a definate conversation starter. It definately will draw the audience into taking sides. Well crafted linear story that has brilliant twists. Taraji shines as lead. A Must watch, especially with a partner. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Alex M Child , a lot of bad reviews for what ? Taraji P Henson portrayed the character the way it needed to be portrayed . The events leading to the climax was EVERYTHING. It is a MUST see movie . You can tell Taraji is ahead of her time as an actress today. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
