"The last Taraji P. Henson's film I watched was ACRIMONY & I hat£d her since then cos of how she made me feel & now coming to watch this again 1st time after 9yrs made me conclude that she might have had a terrible traumatic sad experience growing up to be able to embodily interpret emotional scenes so well,breaking into souls of viewers & connecting with them to feel her pains,tears esp with those her calm-swollen eyes..Nobody should ever compare her again with Funke Akindele in acting as she's far ahead by miles," he said.
"A movie that has GOOD & BAD ending at the same time needs huge applauds..I searched for errors but didn't see any," he said.
