When Melinda met Robert, she was skeptical of his charming nature but couldn't deny how attracted she was to him. Once they fell in love, Melinda molded herself into everything he wanted her to be. She sacrificed for him, worked to support his grandiose dreams, and put up with him for better or for worse. Then, one day she realized that after all she had done, another woman was reaping the lavish rewards. That's when Melinda lost it, and now she cannot let it go.

Critics Consensus

Tyler Perry's Acrimony might be of interest to hardcore Tyler Perry fans, but all other viewers are advised to make time for another Fatal Attraction screening instead.

The movie has enough blinding anger to pull you along, and Perry plays around with one's sympathies by making Henson's character increasingly monstrous, but the pallid dialogue is a constant drag on the story.

Acrimony is presented with a typical filmmaking choice or an absurd one, it goes with the latter.

It's all very entertaining and dumb, the posh settings pushing the drama further into the realm of escapist fantasy.

3/5

It's engaging the way Tyler takes us through the lives of his characters. And in the end, it's an oddly satisfying feeling to be left wondering, who really is the victim here

"Perry is infamous in his treatment of LGBTQ people, especially gay Black men."

1/5

Two hours of . . . lazy filmmaking and tired, harmful stereotypes against women and the mentally ill, all wearing a thin sheen of imposter silk to pass itself off as a cautionary tale.

Some of the actting need improvement, but story line was very good.

Ok so I recently watched this with boxxy software and I have to say it's amazing. Don't judge a book by its cover. I thought this would be a typical story but the story she tells of how it all happened is.... Angering. It makes you feel what she felt on a sort of level and the way she turns crazy is different than other stories in my opinion. Just give it a try and you won't regret it.

The critics bashed this one pretty well. It's well deserved feedback in all honesty. Yet, as with all of TP's films, there's an element of originally that you don't often see in feature films. For example, Taraji uses this platform to show off her ever growing chops as the unhinged woman scorned. As one critic said, the crash scene where she toppled an RV was epic. TP is not afraid to go to places like this. He makes it look easy somehow. Sure, we've all seen Fatal Attraction. This is a more glamorous looking update. Yes, it's full of wild fantasy, but I had to see how it ended. Ok, I admit, my name is Robert, too. And I am extremely creative and inventive as well, so I empathized with the unlikely heroin who finally saw all his dreams realized. So I rooted for Robert all along. Look closely and you'll see this movie is just not that bad. It's not perfect, but not lacking in the ways expressed by the critics.
