Mzansi reacts to Tyler Perry’s ‘STRAW’

1y By Zintle Mdaka

The US filmmaker Tyler Perry released another banger, STRAW, which had Mzansi grasping for air upon watching it.

STRAW is a thought-provoking film recently released on Netflix, where it’s currently topping the charts. The film boasts a talented cast that includes Taraji P Henson, Sherri Shepherd, Sinbad and Teyana Taylor among others.

The film that left many crying their eyeballs out is set against the backdrop of a single mother who navigates a series of unfortunate events, leading her down an unforeseen path where she becomes embroiled in a situation she never envisioned. And subsequently finds herself at the centre of suspicion in an indifferent world.

The last time Tyler turned the internet into a frenzy was with the release of Acrimony, where the heated debate on who was wrong erupted among the netizens.

STRAW led to a debate on the chronicles of being a single mom, and awareness of mental health.

X (formerly Twitter) users weighed in:

Taraji took to her Instagram page to share that she shot her part of the film in four days, as she was working on the set of Fight Night.
