A new year brings a newTyler Perryproject. The filmmaker’s first 2020 title isA Fall from Grace, a romantic thriller with a legal drama slant and an undercurrent of violence. The first trailer is less of a mood-setter and more of a condensed plot synopsis, but if you’re a fan of Perry’s work, it should be on your radar.
The Netflix movie boasts a cast and creative team composed largely of people of color, including cinematographerTerrence Laron Burke(BlacKkKlansman).
