A man named Robert Perkins shared what annoyed him about the lead character in Tyler Perry’s trending movie, Straw.

The emotionally charged film on Netflix was produced by the ace filmmaker Perry and gathered lots of reviews from movie lovers.

On his Facebook page, Roberts shared two things he noticed about the lead character, a single mother named Janiyah Wiltkinson, played by Taraji P. Henson.

In the movie, she was pushed in many directions by the struggles of life, but the most difficult challenge was caring for her daughter Aria, who was frequently unwell.

Man shares observation about Straw movie

In his Facebook post, Robert claimed that the movie was not well-written, as he highlighted some scenes that he did not grasp well.

“I didn't know what caused the baby to have seizures nor did I know where the dad was or why she called her mom and sisters crazy. The whole school scene where the people took her daughter made no sense at all. I guess her hallucinations could explain her dropping off the baby at school and all the interaction she was having with the dead child but still that scene where they took her child didn't line up to me.

“Her tone and speech pattern annoyed me, almost like she had a learning disability or something, idk it sounded child like even though she was grown. That could be just me though.”

He added that the bank scene was unnecessary, but felt it accounted for most of the movie.

The man also praised Teyena Taylor and Henson's acting, stating that they did a good job.

In a chat with Legit.ng, Matilda Ohije, who has watched the movie, shared her review about the trending film.

She said:

"This movie is an emotionally charged film and it shows the power poverty could have over one’s life. The character Janiyah thought me that even at my worst, I can still be kind. She was going through the most but never threw away kindness towards other people. Plus, I’m this world, we need people who would listen to us when we speak, we all do."

"Yeah after watching it again... It was extreme. The cop... I would've been dead then cause I would've went off. Then throwing the glass at her job ain't no way. It was cartoonish."

Gregory Robinson said:

"I haven’t seen it yet but “A Family That Preys” is the only movie by him this made well through and through as well."

Tiffany JB said:

"You are absolutely correct about everything you said, and yes the only worthwhile movie Tyler ever made was 'The Family that Preys'."
