Mea Culpa

A good Tyler Perry movie. Does it exist? Will it ever? It's shocking that after so many years, Perry still writes most white characters as cartoony supervillains. Everyone in this movie is artificial, and as much as it wants to be a suspenseful slow-burn, all that artifice renders this too unreal to buy into, even before it takes a hard, but lame right turn into complete buffoonery. That anyone is willing to invest in or platform Tyler Perry movies in 2024 is both a miracle, and very, very sad.
