Why “A Fall From Grace ” is Netflix’s Best Movie So Far

Y’all better quit while you’re ahead and leave Tyler Perry alone.

Quit dragging Tyler Perry’s movie acting like you’ve never seen a telenovela or a soap opera. This movie stands proudly with the soaps of my generation (80s baby here) with the melodrama, character twists and plot turns. I believe you forgot.

What about the original Lifetime movies, ladies? Does this movie not remind you of those day?

Tyler Perry’s recent Netflix movie is amazing.

Here are three reasons why:

Phylicia Rashad- No spoilers here but that Sarah (played by Phylicia Rashad) brought out the best in Grace (Crystal Fox) and offers her love and support. I never expected to see Phylicia Rashad play a lady like Sarah, but I’m glad she was cast in the role. Ms. Rashad, if you read this, I must tell you that I see what you did there and I hope you do it again.

Wigs: Because everyone’s wig was on point. Men’s and Women’s wigs alike. What’s so wrong with the characters wearing hair that fits the vision that Tyler Perry had for them? I’m fine with the wigs because they worked!

And lastly, Crystal Fox.

It’s been reported that it took 5 days to film the entire movie and Ms. Fox dances through each scene with a myriad of deep emotions. The entire film on her shoulders and she carries the film over the finish line. Bravo.

Is the movie perfect? No, but that’s part of the charm of the film.

So, sit back and let go of all your judgement and allow the story to unfold in all it’s bubbly, soap operatic and melodramatic glory.
