Tyler Perry's A Fall From Grace Is Getting Dragged

At this point, I don’t know who’s having the harder fall from grace, Tyler’s Perry’s new movie or Tyler Perry himself. Since A Fall From Grace’s release on Netflix on Friday, it’s been getting dragged all over the internet — and the jokes are wild.

The film marks the writer/director/actor’s first made-for-Netflix feature about a woman who confesses to killing her new husband, and a lawyer who seeks to uncover the possible conspiracy at play. Somehow it features iconic actors Cicely Tyson and Phylicia Rashad and is billed as an “ominous,” “suspenseful” thriller by Netflix.

Despite Perry’s history of making melodramatic features laced with stereotypical tropes about Black women and overly-preachy themes, the internet seems to have hoped that this streaming deal and his massive new studio would usher in a new era of content. Content that’s fresh, exciting, and won’t leave you scratching your head. But, no.

Perry previously boasted about filming the movie in just five days, and it shows in A Fall From Grace. Viewers were far from pleased with the result and went to Twitter to air their frustrations.

Speaking of air, a few eagle-eyed users started finding editing and continuity errors, which included the drinking and eating of air.

Though, many just couldn’t get past the poor pacing, plot, and acting.

A Fall From Grace was lowkey trash.. the acting, the makeup, the WIGS 🤢unexpected plot twist tho.

Because I’m bound by ancient compact to watch all Tyler Perry movies now, I will tell you that “A Fall From Grace” was as unintelligent, poorly made and regressive as you could imagine. Trash with no value or fun from top to bottom. A shit pie sprayed with dog pee. The end.

Yikes. Although, one user theorized that maybe all these errors were a part of Perry’s plan.

What if all these ‘errors’ were planted by Tyler Perry on purpose? I mean, he’s a comic, right?.🤷🏽‍♂️
