Memorable, crazy movie
Fresh and Exciting
Don't listen to the negative reviews
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
This movie is not crazy at all. It perfectly displays the stages up until derangement of the mind of a person who used to have flaws but was normal. First person's point of view narration was spot-on to execute this. The movie does a good job of showing the audience the many sides of this relationship despite the fact that it was predominantly a 1st pov movie.What pushes people over the edge might differ. Their different personalities factor in differently too and in this case the fiery personality of the antihero protagonist didn't help. In fact because there is no hero in this movie, there is no antihero either. The movie does not deal in black and white one dimensional characters.So just because your edges are different, do not assume the story in the movie is irrelevant. You can look up many crime stories to confirm that this is so real.As for its being a thriller. Thrillers do not have to be "unpredictable" all the time; they are however supposed to keep you tense and involved. Cinema audience are given to consumerism and instant gratification too much. The movie holds its own even if you can guess what's goimg to happen next up until the end. If you can still sit through to watch it in delight, then that movie is beyond its genre. In my case, it is obvious that I could.Actors were good. I had no idea Taraji Henson was such a capable actress. Looking forward to seeing more of her movies where she gets the big part.So. Give the mysteries of the human psyche a chance to make room for a variety of shoes to get into and walk in your own minds.
Let me start by saying, the script of this movie is amazing! You actually feel like you're in the movie, giving advice to Melinda, feeling her frustration and holding her down when she goes bonkers. Taraji P. Henson deserves an award for her performance. Acrimony is a great film packed with lots of lessons. Honestly, I do not understand why great movies like this get poor ratings. Please go see the movie and give it a chance.
Great movie it will definitely hold your interest.Great cast
I have a renewed respect for Tyler Perry. This project was riveting and absolutely one of his best. I was drawn into the story line and deeply felt the performance of the cast. Bravo!
