Critics' reviews

"Perry would be better off tossing some of his random ideas to talented young black directors rather than doing them badly all by himself"

Eric Kohn: IndieWire
"[It] doesn’t rise above that formula (...) Nothing is much of a surprise in a story that fails to untether itself from Perry’s longest lasting trope: the sad black woman."

Candice Frederick: The New York Times
"Plenty of trademark gestures and some nuanced acting fuel [it] (...) 'A Fall From Grace' isn’t consequential moviemaking"

Lisa Kennedy: Variety
"[Perry] reportedly shot the entire picture in five days. That may sound impossible (and nothing to crow about), but when you see the slapdash results, it makes total sense."

Gary Goldstein: Los Angeles Times
"It’s a bit of a bumpy journey, and a handful of 'reveals' are delivered with all the subtlety of a 1970s TV detective show, but even the hokey stuff has its entertainment value (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times
"While the performances are stronger and the narrative is more coherent than you’d see in a 'Madea' movie (...) [it has] dizzying tonal swings, awkward blocking, drab lighting... (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Christy Lemire: rogerebert.com
"Tyler Perry won’t make any new fans with his first Netflix movie"

Carly Mallenbaum: USA Today
