Tyler Perry's ‘Straw' stands with stressed-out single mothers everywhere
Few filmmakers portray the Black American experience with so much heart and so little finesse as Tyler Perry. Doesn't matter if his movies aren't art — they reach an audience whether they're comedies (his Madea movies), middle-class melodramas or period pieces like 2024's World War II-era 'The Six Triple Eight.' That last was a high point in a career of directing nearly 30 movies in 20 years, not counting Perry's many TV shows and stage plays — a run of inspired workaholism that has made the writer-director one of the most financially successful filmmakers of his generation. Streaming on Netflix, 'Straw' is Perry's version of 'Dog Day Afternoon.' Anchored by a heroic if undisciplined lead performance by Taraji P. Henson ('Hidden Figures,' TV's 'Empire'), it finds solidarity with every overworked, underpaid, stressed-out single mother in a coldhearted America, even those who don't go to the extreme of shooting their boss and robbing a bank. Technically speaking, Janiyah Wiltkinson isn't robbing a bank. A supermarket checkout clerk having the worst day ever, she just wants her paycheck cashed and happens to have a gun in her hand, prompting the teller (Ashley Versher) to panic and hit the silent alarm. Before that, we've looked on as Janiyah has gotten evicted from her apartment, been a victim of road rage from a psycho off-duty cop (Tilky Jones), had her car impounded, lost her job, seen her sick daughter (Gabby Jackson) taken away by social services and had her workplace robbed by gunmen with unexpected results. The teller pushing all the money in the bank at Janiyah instead of the $521 she's due is merely the final straw from which the movie takes its title. 'Straw' has a bone-deep empathy for the struggles of those living below the poverty line or just keeping their chins above it. While Perry sets up a familiar scenario, with an army of police outside the bank and a handful of hostages inside, the movie is really about Black women bonding across boundaries of class, profession and the law. The bank manager, Nicole (Sherri Shepherd), is well aware of how hard she's worked to get where she is and how much responsibility she has to help the people in her community. The hostage negotiator on the phone, Detective Kay Raymond (Teyana Taylor, a little too glam for the role), is a single mother who gives Janiyah the benefit of the doubt when her partner (Mike Merrill), her chief (Rockmond Dunbar) and a racist FBI agent (Derek Phillips) are all urging her to shoot first and ask questions later. When one of the other tellers (Shalèt Monique) starts live-streaming from inside the bank and Janiyah's Job-like litany of woes goes out on the local news, 'Straw' brings in a supportive mob chanting for her freedom from behind the police line. Even some of the other hostages take her side, including a woman (Diva Tyler) who serves as Perry's wise elder, schooling the callow younger characters in the hardships of life. It's a cheering development in the midst of looming disaster, and what suspense there is comes from the fear that Janiyah — and maybe the others — won't get out of it alive. 'Straw' plays fast and loose with that fear in a wholly unnecessary penultimate scene, but it's already tripped over its own feet with a final-act twist that is simply one too many — one more piano falling on poor Janiyah's head after the whole orchestra has come crashing down. To her credit, Henson plays her role without false ennobling: Janiyah is a believable mess, a woman barely clinging to the bottom rung of the working class, and the movie is smart enough to hint at an entire system that keeps the Janiyahs of America running frantically in place. Perry's not quite brave enough to tackle that system head-on, though, and he stands back while his star's performance turns chaotic and screechy — a big, heartfelt turn that could have used a lot more guidance. Likewise, 'Straw' has all the feels it wants and little of the art it needs. But there's nothing to suggest Tyler Perry would have it any other way. Unrated. Available on Netflix. Contains language and potential violence. 105 minutes. Ty Burr is the author of the movie recommendation newsletter Ty Burr's Watch List at

Mariah Carey Returns With Fiery Single ‘Type Dangerous'
Mariah Carey has released a new single, 'Type Dangerous.' The song is the pop singer's first new release in several years, with her most recent album, Caution, arriving in 2018. The track presumably teases her next LP. 'Looking for the dangerous type,' she croons on the upbeat number. 'I like them dangerous/ That's my type/ I said I love them dangerous.' More from Rolling Stone iHeartRadio Music Festival 2025: Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, Mariah Carey to Perform Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx, Kirk Franklin Named BET Ultimate Icon Award Recipients John Mulaney, Rock Hall of Fame Enthusiast, Breaks Down This Year's Class - and Snubs! Carey has been teasing new music on social media all week, including clips from the official lyric video for 'Type Dangerous.' In one clip, the singer is seen listening to a mysterious track called 'T:D_MC16.mp3.' Her car's license plate reads: MC16. Both likely reference her 16th studio album being on the way. Carey recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of her album The Emancipation of Mimi with The Emancipation of Mimi (20th Anniversary Edition) and an additional digital deluxe edition. 'When you sit down and go through the whole Emancipation of Mimi as an album, and go, 'Some of these songs were a little bit more that way or a little bit more this way,' it's just really interesting,' Carey told Rolling Stone last year as she prepared to kick off her Las Vegas residency. 'I love the album so much that it's hard to pick it apart and go, 'Oh, I like this part less than I like that part.' It really is one unit.' The singer released Caution, her 15th LP, in 2018. In a review, Rolling Stone called it 'thrillingly current without swallowing Carey's charm.'

‘Tyler Perry's Straw' Review: The Accidental Bank Robber
In 'Tyler Perry's Straw,' Janiyah (Taraji P. Henson), a single mom in Atlanta, is having a very, very, very bad day. Her morning was already ragged when the writer-director piles onto her woes a demeaning landlord, a bullying boss, a distant school administrator, a line of disgruntled grocery customers and a road-raging, off-duty police officer. Did we mention that Janiyah winds up in the wrong office at the wrong time in the wrong state of mind? As detectives arrive to a bloody crime scene at the grocery store where she clerks, Janiyah is across the parking lot at her bank, trying to cash her paycheck. Only she doesn't have identification, and the teller is being a stickler. Soon, Janiyah is waving a gun, something is flashing red in her daughter's see-through backpack and she has made hostages of the bank employees and a handful of aging customers. Sherri Shepherd portrays Nicole, the branch manager who tries to diffuse the situation, having amped it by telling the police that Janiyah has a bomb. Teyana Taylor ('A Thousand and One') brings fierce focus to a deteriorating situation as Detective Kay Raymond. The security footage at the grocery store didn't lie, but Detective Raymond intuits something more has sent Janiyah to the desperate standoff. She steps in as a negotiator. Perry, an unapologetic purveyor of melodrama, mercilessly teases the tension. Will Janiyah hurt the hostages? Will the authorities make a sad situation worse? The ending is perhaps too twisting for its own good. But Henson — so deeply committed to her character's emotional cratering — still makes us care. StrawNot rated. Running time: 1 hour 45 minutes. Watch on Netflix.
