Review of A Fall from Grace (2020) by Casandracomplex — 13 Feb 2021
What a waste of some stellar acting talent and a really good premise. It's a bizarre mix of one of those cutsie '80's type films where the whole film revolves around a child actor while the whole adult world in that film contorts itself to pander to a child's understanding of the world.
. and a serious who dunnit? Like I said, a bizarre mix.The child that I'm referring to is the defence lawyer.. ... it's like she just wakes up all of a sudden in a court room one day and has to defend a client.
. the duh and dead blank stares and complete lack of understanding of how a court room actually operates is waay too far a leap of faith or suspension of belief to make any sense at all of this incredibly badly written script.
And I love Tyler Perry films to begin with so don't assume my reasonings.. and yeah, it is worth noting that the town that this was supposed to take place at sure has a disproportionate amount of actors from a certain race BUT I come to expect Tyler Perry to represent and promote black actors, actresses and communities.
One fellow on this site made a racial slur/reference (of which I haven't found a way to report) calling it planet of the apes. From one white person to another, hey! Did you ever think that, what you were feeling about the racial ratio represented in the film is exactly what black Americans have been complaining about Hollywood under-representing the black community for like.
. forever. This is how it must feel to them. Like it or not, you just put yourself in someone else's shoes without the epiphany.
