Review:
You are in for a long bumpy emotional ride of love and hate. Tyler Perry has pulled a string that will get movie watchers stuck on their seats with rapt anticipation, wondering what will happen next before getting to the end of 153 minutes. The casts, perfectly fit into the tone and mood of the movie and when the scenes reels one at a time, the soft tuneful songs that played on the background, gives the impulse of how it feels by the casts in that spot of action.
Falling in love was the easiest part for Melinda (Henson), but when the disappointments won’t stop, it drives her up the wall; the tears in her eyes and her family presence were the moment that kept her fixed only for a while.
Acrimony reveals the positive and negative sides of love, which reflects love and hate. Its dialogue runs deep through emotional swings and outburst, which sometimes takes the actionable moment of heated argument resulting in pummeling, destroying and smashing down home items. Tyler Perry’s had put together a synchronized casts in orchestrating a difficult movie scene that they did in an unusual amazing way. Penda was perfectly in tune with her very depressed character; Robert (Bent) and Melinda (Henson) were suppose to be together till the end of their lives, but when it became clear to Henson that Robert will amount to nothing, being on Pins and needles, she filed for a divorce and the married came to an abrupt end. Melinda moved in to live with her elder sister, while having post traumatic stress disorder and a bolt of limerence. For Robert, he was back to squalor and penury.
The scenes were sequentially linear, coming one after the other and easy to understand; in that spot of acting action moment, Henson and Bent gave a great emotional feel of love, hate but then, when a deep breath is taken in, the feeling goes right into the nerves and a new drama happens.
At 153 minutes of acting runtime, the movie scenes were quite engaging and straight to the next. However, the sequence of the scenes portrayed Henson an oddball, in a bizarre twist she wants to have Robert (Bent) all to herself once more and whatever comes in between them, pose a threat. Thus, bringing the thriller to unexpected and over stretched end, which deepened the sad mood of the Psychological Thriller movie much more than it should.
I don’t want to ruin the surprise for you, Acrimony is a remarkable movie, which is mind absorbing, intriguing and keeps the imagination open.
