Grace Waters (Crystal Fox), a longtime pillar of her Virginia community, stays composed when her ex weds his mistress and her son moves away. With convincing from her best friend Sarah (Phylicia Rashad), she tries putting herself first, and a handsome stranger (Mehcad Brooks) becomes her surprise second love. Yet any woman can snap, and Grace's new husband soon ravages her life, her work and - many say - her sanity. Shuttered in a cell awaiting trial for his murder, Grace's only hope for vindication lies with Jasmine Bryant (Bresha Webb), a public defender who has never tried a case. Co-starring Oscar nominee Cicely Tyson and writer/director Tyler Perry, A FALL FROM GRACE is a mesmerizing thriller built from unthinkable secrets.
Leave your thoughts about A Fall from Grace.
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireWhile the performances are stronger and the narrative is more coherent than you’d see in a “Madea” movie, for example, Perry’s latest still features many of the auteur’s trademarks: dizzying tonal swings, awkward blocking, drab lighting, jarring edits and a mixture of the salacious and the puritanical. |
| VarietyLisa KennedyA Fall From Grace isn’t consequential moviemaking. This won’t come as a surprise to plenty of Perry’s detractors and maybe Perry doesn’t have to aim for that. |
| IndieWireEric KohnPerry’s self-produced soap opera scribble is the kind of hilarious so-bad-it’s-good romp in which the man behind the curtain invites his viewers to roll their eyes. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThis is like watching the paint dry in the still-new Tyler Perry Studios soundstages. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt’s Jasmine’s inept and unprofessional behavior during the film’s climactic trial that really sends the film into absurdist territory. It’s outdone only by a final sequence of events with a horror-show twist that might best be described as bonkers. |
| The New York TimesCandice FrederickUltimately, nothing is much of a surprise in a story that fails to untether itself from Perry’s longest lasting trope: the sad black woman. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerIt’s a five-day toss-off that’s simultaneously an impressive feat and business as usual. |
| User Reviewmumuzinhobom, personagens muito bons, roteiro incrível muito bom mesmo, atuações exelentes. |
| User ReviewvitortfvThe story is somewhat disgusting, you are incredulous how someone can have their life so unstructured. In general it holds a lot of attention, it is not very complex or enigmatic, but it has an interesting ending. |
| User ReviewIamcritical86I mean, I've seen much worse. It's not like I disliked this film, it was just a little too predictable for my liking. I had the story line figured out very quickly. This is NOT the first film of it's kind, and I think the final product would be getting better reviews if the writers and directors would have executed the making of this film with that in mind. That being said, I thought Crystal Fox delivered an EXCELLENT performance. |
