Tyler Perry's new movie "Divorce in the Black" is now available on Prime Video. It features Meagan Good as Ava and Cory Hardrict as Dallas. This is an emotionally captivating movie. This movie is a romantic thriller that captures the true essence of emotional abuse.
Synopsis
The focus of this movie is on Ava and Dallas's marriage and how unhealthy it has gotten for Ava in particular. The story begins with Dallas's brother's funeral, which Ava's parents organized to be held at the church. After a dramatic start, there was a confrontation between Ava's and Dallas's families. This is the story of Ava's abuse from her spouse, which is what first sparked the conversation regarding her divorce from Dallas.
Highs
Good's performance as Ava, who captured the genuine feelings of loss and despair, is one of the film's highlights. Her transformation into a stronger person is admirable; she overcomes her violent spouse. She transforms from a helpless wife who constantly listens to her husband into a powerful, self-reliant woman.
The film's plot, which centers on the two families before and after their marriage and how Ava dealt with all of Dallas's violent treatment of her, is another highlight. This movie contains valuable life lessons, including the need to never lose oneself in an abusive marriage and the necessity of never letting the abuser prevail. It demonstrates the strength of a woman when she has the support of her friends and family.
There was amazing chemistry between Ava and Joseph Lee Anderson's character, Benji. The way he waits for her throughout the whole movie and the way he shields her right away. In her tale, he serves as the protagonist and demonstrates his unwavering loyalty. The character is crucial to Ava's narrative since it adds a romantic element to the suspenseful drama.
The suspenseful part of the film, which had her husband following her and showing his rage, was another highlight. The way that Hardict behaved as an abusive husband was excellently represented. His range of feelings from rage to despair was remarkable. The movie had an exciting and surprising conclusion.
The bond between Ava and her friend Rona (played by Taylor Polidore Williams) was another highlight. Rona was an encouraging friend who constantly looked out for Ava. Rona and Ava had a strong friendship that would never fail; they stuck together through everything. She demonstrated to Ava that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Lows
Considering how profound it was regarded, there weren't many poor points in this movie. However, Dallas' mother, who was equally as violent as her son, was the low point of this movie. She acted aggressively and violently throughout the entire film. This demonstrated how toxic the entire family was and how, despite her son's wrongdoing, she was unable to see things from Ava's point of view.
The absence of background material on Dallas's childhood experiences and what caused him to become violent and enraged was another low point. Having this knowledge could help the story come together and pique the interest of the audience. His character appeared to be mentally ill at several points in the movie, but the audience was never made aware of this.
Verdict
"Divorce in the Black" is an intriguing romantic thriller that teaches the audience about escaping an abusive relationship. It shows the emotions one goes through during these relationships. This is a deep story and is captured well.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
