STRAW | Official Trailer | Netflix [ Taraji P. Henson ]
- Thread starter Database Error
- Start date
I feel this concept has been done to death.
Footage from her sextape was used in the making of this movie.
Yeah, I’m good…
Wife and I watched this and it wasn't horrible...
I had a feeling it wouldn't be one of those Tyler Perry flicks that was just completely overwhelmed with foolishness and unintentional comedy, just off the strength of Tarajis acting and the nature of the story. similar to a woman led version of John Q.
Of course there were moments of overly dramatic characters/situations. unnecessarily long scenes, simplistic dialogue and Hamfisted messages with no nuance but all that shit is baked into the cake when it comes to Tyler Perry productions.
This jawn was saved by Taraji and Sheri sheppard and the understanding of the community having to look out for eachother and the system not recognizing our humanity unless there are some of us involved in the system.

michael douglas's greatest role imo [gordon gekko in wall street close]
Oh damn sinbad is in this joint.
I still ain't watching it tho.
I actually have an idea for a story on a falling down 2.."in black and white"
He had one masterpiece, IMO: 'The Six Triple Eight'
This was not that. Not even close.
But aside from that film, 'Straw' was better than all the other stuff he's put out in the last 5 or so years.
Taraji did her thing. Sherri Shepherd and Teyana Taylor were good too.

Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen it yet?
and everyone in his movies/shows is always mad.
I agree why I didn't like certain scenes but that movie was powerful.
The other movie with kelly rowland and that painter was a good one too.
I'm just tired of the movies he produces when it comes to black women always either poor, on drugs or pregnant with multiple baby daddies.
Once I saw Taraji Henson was gonna be on STRAW about a single parent struggling, I knew I had to pass on it.

yeah, did you see the ending when they were flahsing back through her day?
Him and 50 cent seem to always make the same movies and shows different ways with different characters.
hold on now playa. i'm a have to disagree with you on that. That movie was horrible. and it makes me mad that you put it back in my memory.
I mean i enjoyed seeing Kelly Rowland titties because if she wasn't naked in that movie, I wasn't gonna watch it.
i don't even think that was her.
Who do you think it was?
I mean it's not like kelly rowland hasn't been naked when she has.
thought it was body double. but if it was her, that was the best scene in the whole movie.
I agree, that's the only reason why I watched that movie in the first place.
I thought that Kelly Rowland one was crappy. But I enjoyed looking at her.
You have a pertinent point about him being "one note" in his portrayals.
He's not very creative, and him doing everything himself comes through in his productions.
This one felt like, 'John Q' to me (one of my least favorite Denzel W. movies).
Curious on this part..cause a lot of people say the same about Training Day
Back then everyone and their mama was watching that movie saying how great it was and talking about that movie for weeks and sometimes wanting to watch that movie again.
