STRAW is a searing, soulful, and utterly gripping cinematic experience that grips your heart from the very first frame and never lets go. Anchored by an unforgettable performance from Taraji P. Henson, this film is a masterclass in character-driven storytelling, emotional nuance, and societal reflection.
Director and writer (Tyler Perry) crafts a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. The story of a single mother caught in the crosshairs of fate and injustice is told with urgency and tenderness, never sensationalizing the pain but instead illuminating the quiet strength that emerges when everything else falls apart.
And then—there’s Teyana Taylor. What. A. Force. Her presence on screen is electric, raw, and quietly devastating. She brings fire and vulnerability to every scene she steps into, delivering a layered performance that will affect you long after the credits roll.
STRAW doesn’t just entertain. It says something. About resilience. About perception. About how quickly the world can turn on a woman who dares to hold it together. It’s a film that reminds us how fragile life can be—and how fierce love must be to survive it. An absolute must-see.
