Movie Review; A fall from Grace

Tyler Perry is one of those directors whose movies always bring up controversies amongst people. He achieved this with Acrimony and when A Fall from Grace was released, it amplified the arguments.

SPOILERS

Grace is a middle aged woman who falls in love with Shannon. A guy who appears too real to be true. She falls in love and marries him.  Later on she kills her husband and pleads guilty, waiting to be executed. A young DA lawyer is given the case to get a plea deal, she has her heart set on getting the deal but is touched when she sees Grace cry. This pushes her to investigate and fight for Grace.The investigations lead to a sinister movement which has been in place for a while.

     

.     Wrapping my head around the whole story took a while. I sat and thought about it a lot and I must commend Tyler Perry. It sounds totally made up, but there are schemes set in place to rob middle aged women of their valuables. The extent to which the scheme was carried out was elaborate and concise. But, as with schemes, one particular person always spoils it all. And in this case, Grace was that person.

     

After losing her job, her house and on the way to be indicted, she lost it. She gave her husband the bat and trusted the wrong person. There were other twitches in the story line like minor makeup flaws. bad hair etc. 

     I really wish next time, the woman doesn't have to be the fool or the crazy accused person. But the message behind the story was clear. No one is stopping you from falling in love, but ladies we have got to be really careful. Guard your heart and be careful who you trust. Also when your gut tells you something, try and listen to it. Believe in it and ask yourself the right questions. Why you?

Kudos to Netflix.
