	Author	Review
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Perry would be better off tossing some of his random ideas to talented young black directors rather than doing them badly all by himself"	NEG
United States	Candice Frederick The New York Times	"[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."	NEG
United States	Lisa Kennedy Variety	"Plenty of trademark gestures and some nuanced acting fuel [it] (...) 'A Fall From Grace' isn’t consequential moviemaking"	NEU
United States	Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"[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."	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-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)"	POS
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"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)"	NEU
United States	Carly Mallenbaum USA Today	"Tyler Perry won’t make any new fans with his first Netflix movie"	NEG
United States	John Serba Decider	"It’ll take your breath away (...) But any commentary is lost in a carelessly written screenplay, which feels like first-draft, last-minute scribbling."	NEU
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"An absurd, hysterically incompetent thriller from Tyler Perry that is easily, and unintentionally, the funniest film of this still-young year so far (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
