Released on the streaming service on June 6, the film has already picked up traction among viewers, swiftly moving up the charts to become the platform's most streamed movie in the UK this weekend. Emerging to strong word of mouth from audiences, it has already been described as one of the director's best films to date (admittedly, this mixed-bag of a catalogue does include his Madea and Mrs. Brown's Boys crossover).

Viewers were particularly vocal about its 'heartbreaking' ending – which featured a twist to the tale which will ensure Straw won't be forgotten in a hurry. After watching, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on what they had just witnessed. 'Straw is such a humbling movie. The rawness was so real and the plot twist was crazy,' wrote she_mego on X. 'What a walk through emotions @tylerperry's STRAW. The plot twist at the end wallowed me up. A good watch indeed!' exclaimed sandra_buma. 'After watching Straw, I no longer know how my heart is feeling. When what gave you purpose is suddenly gone. It speaks to a pain that's hard to name. Raw, emotional, and deeply human. Kudos to the writer… truly outdone🖤' said david_harris_r. 'Tyler Perrys STRAW absolutely incredible i literally cried blown away!' said MelisaWhiskey. From its reviews, critics heaped praise upon star Taraji, with Screen Rant describing her performance as 'an acting masterclass.' 'Straw has a cultural pulse-taking urgency that lifts it above [Tyler Perry's] usual run of comedies and melodramatic potboilers, flawed as it is,' wrote Dennis Harvey of Variety. Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly described the film's emotions as 'so raw and the performances are so earnest that you've really got to have a heart of stone not to care for these people.' Award-winning Taraji – nominated Best Supporting Actress for her performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at 2008's Oscars – previously starred in hit movies The Color Purple and Hidden Figures. Her performance in the film comes two years after she spoke out on the issue of inequality in pay for Hollywood's women of colour. 'I'm just tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do, getting paid a fraction of the cost,' she told Gayle King on SiriusXM Radio. 'I'm tired of hearing my sisters saying the same thing over and over. You get tired. I hear people go, 'You work a lot.' I have to – the math ain't mathing. 'And when you start working a lot, you have a team. Big bills come with what we do. We don't do this alone. The fact that we're up here, there's a whole entire team behind us. They have to get paid. 'When you hear people saying, 'Oh, such and such made $10million.' That didn't make it to their account. Know that off the top, Uncle Sam is getting 50%. Do the math. 'Now we have $5million – your team is getting 30% off of what you gross, not after what Uncle Sam took. Now do the math.' As the interview went viral, fans and peers in the acting community shared messages of support. 'Not a damn lie told. Not. A. Damn. Lie. We go TO BAT for the next generation and hell even our own generation and above,' wrote Gabrielle Union in response. More Trending 'We don't hesitate to be the change that we all need to see AND it takes a toll on your mind, health, soul, and career if we're keepn it [100]. [Love] u @tarajiphenson. [sic]' 'We feel you, @tarajiphenson and we love you. It's a fight we ALL are waging,' agreed Community star Yvette Nicole Brown. 'For ourselves and for the ones coming up after us. This mess sucks!'

Arnold Schwarzenegger Cracks Surprising Joke About Ex-Wife Maria Shriver
While Arnold Schwarzenegger typically remains mum on details of his personal life, the Terminator recently broke from his usual stance and dropped a well-timed joke about ex-wife Maria Shriver. The off the cuff comment happened during the Amazon Upfront event, where the former body builder sat on a panel to discuss his upcoming move. Related: Sources Close to Ben Affleck Say He's Dying To Have More Kids Schwarzenegger's new flick is a Christmas movie, which prompted him to bring up the older holiday film he starred in, according to Hola! magazine. 'Jingle All the Way was the greatest Christmas movie of all time,' the father of five joked of the 90s movie. 'They play it the whole month of December. I know because my ex-wife calls me about the residual.' For those who may not remember, Schwarzenegger and Shriver divorced after news broke that he had an affair with the couple's housekeeper, Mildred Baena, and fathered a child as a result of the relationship. When Shriver found out about the relationship, she decided to put an end to their 25 year marriage. Schwarzenegger rarely talks about his ex and the affair that ended their relationship, mostly because both he and Shriver have always said that they wanted to put their four children first. In fact, the last time he made a public comment about it was while he was promoting his book in 2021, right around the time his divorce was finalized. The duo must be on pretty good terms these days for Schwarzenegger to make such a comment, especially since he has been quiet about so much else having to do with Shriver. That's good news for the couple's shared children, who have probably been through a lot in the years since the news of their father's affair broke. Up Next:

Arnold Schwarzenegger makes snide remark about ex-wife Maria Shriver while promoting new film
Arnold Schwarzenegger made a rare comment about his ex-wife Maria Shriver when discussing his upcoming holiday film, 'The Man With the Bag.' The former California Governor spoke about the upcoming film, due out later this year on Prime Video, at Amazon's Upfront 2025 Presentation in New York City. During the engagement, he took the time to reminisce about an older holiday film of his. "'Jingle All the Way' was the greatest Christmas movie of all time,' he said at the event on Monday, May 12, referring to the 1996 Christmas comedy film in which he goes to great lengths to secure the hottest new toy for his son and stars opposite Rita Wilson. 'They play it the whole month of December.' "I know because my ex-wife calls me about the residual," Schwarzenegger joked. Shriver, a former journalist, was married to Schwarzenegger for 25 years. The couple's marriage ended in 2011, following the revelation that Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with their longtime housekeeper. Shriver opened up about their split, which was finalized in 2021, in her new poetry collection, 'I Am Maria.' 'It broke my heart, it broke my spirit, it broke what was left of me,' she wrote in the book, which was released last month. 'I was consumed with grief and wracked with confusion, anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety. I was unsure now of who I was, where I belonged. Honestly, it was brutal, and I was terrified.' Despite being separated, Schwarzenegger and Shriver have co-parented their four children: Katherine, Christina, Christopher and Patrick, of 'White Lotus' fame. 'My chapter with Maria will continue on forever,' Schwarzenegger told People Magazine in 2023. 'Even though it's a different relationship, there's no reason for me to feel anything other than love for her.'

Previously, Schwarzenegger shed light on his dynamic with Shriver during a conversation with PEOPLE, saying, 'We never left the [first] chapter. Because remember, it's not like we had a feud. We didn't have a fight. It's just my f--- up, right? She said, 'Okay, this is what it is,' and then she decided to make a split, so it was her decision." "But the fact is, we always made it very clear that the kids should not suffer because of that," Schwarzenegger added. "My chapter with Maria will continue on forever.
