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.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 03/05/2020
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. Go to Full Review Roxana Hadadi Pajiba 05/07/2018
Acrimony is presented with a typical filmmaking choice or an absurd one, it goes with the latter. Go to Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 04/05/2018
It's all very entertaining and dumb, the posh settings pushing the drama further into the realm of escapist fantasy. Go to Full Review Ronak Kotecha The Times of India 02/01/2022
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 Go to Full Review John Manuel Arias Mediaversity Reviews 11/27/2021

"Perry is infamous in his treatment of LGBTQ people, especially gay Black men." Go to Full Review Matt Cipolla Film Monthly 07/24/2020
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Takisha 11/30/2024 This was a great movie!! Didn't like the ending See more Bon Z @Bonbon777 Feb 18 I loved this movie! Tyler Perry's movies are great and this one is really great. I could relate to some of it, been ripped off by men in the past. And yes, now they are doing well. But I would never go back, never contact anyone, etc. She was just plain crazy, but I think he made her crazy. He did give her the money which she should have been grateful for and left him alone after that. He was a loser. See more Shawan L @ShawanLLibang Feb 4 Acrimony is Tyler Perry at his most chaotic, serving a plot so messy it feels like it was written during a tantrum. Taraji P. Henson is acting on a different planet while the script keeps tripping over its own drama. By the end, the movie isn’t a thriller it’s a loud, unhinged meltdown pretending to have a point. See more Scott B @sburke802 Dec 31 When are people going to realize that Tyler Perry's movies are TERRIBLE. Just because he is Black doesnt make him good. See more jofe M. @itsjmksworld Jul 24 did they really have to use that much green screen? 👀 See more Torey-Lucy Jul 22 T Perry does an excellent job portraying his artist. Great job as usual and waiting on part 2. See more Read all reviews
