"Tyler Perry's Straw is another Netflix original film that captures the audience's attention with a drama full of tension. Directed, written and produced by Tyler Perry, the film follows a single mother (played by Taraji P. Henson) who sees her life turned upside down after a series of unexpected events. As the plot progresses, the character finds herself at the center of a web of distrust, where the world around her seems indifferent to what she is going through. With a powerful performance by Henson and Perry's talent for creating engaging stories, the film mixes emotion, suspense and social criticism. A great choice for those who enjoy intense dramas with touches of thriller."
