Netflix subscribers remain in shock at the unpredictable 'twist' to come at the end of a must-watch new Netflix thriller that has had fans in tears.

While it may be Monday once more, offices across the country reunite to discuss what they have been watching over the weekend. And the latest flick from Tyler Perry is certainly the talk of the town this week, having released on Netflix on Friday (June 6).

Straw tells the story of single mother Janiyah Wiltkinson (Taraji P. Henson), and the struggles she faces to care for her ill daughter.

However, it all becomes too much as her world collapses around her, leading her to decide to hold up a bank in an attempt to survive.

When discussing Henson's character, Perry, who also produced and wrote the film, described her as a woman who is 'just trying to survive'.

"I think that a lot of people around the world, no matter if you're a Black woman or not, will be able to relate to that feeling of, 'I'm at my last straw'", the Meet The Browns star told Tudum.

After many watched Straw for the first time over the weekend, many have headed to social media sites such as Reddit to discuss a 'twist' that saw some fans 'crying'.

One person penned: "Just finished watching…. I genuinely didn’t see that twist coming. I don’t usually cry at films but this is one of those rare occasions."

While second added: "I cried hard. The entire movie. I had to take a lil break."

Straw has also become a discussion point on the 'Netflix Bangers' Facebook page, with many heaping praise on Perry's latest flick.

"This is a 10/10. MUST WATCH," one viewer wrote.

Another quipped: "Just watched..tears....all through the movie...we need Straw 2," while a third remarked: "Excellent movie, I cried throughout the movie and was angry at the same time."

Straw has been well received by critics, as Dennis Harvey, from Variety, penned in his review: "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."

Entertainment Weekly's Jordan Hoffman added: "Straw is not exactly subtle, but the emotions are 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."

And Casey Chong, for Casey's Movie Mania, said: "Taraji P. Henson elevates Tyler Perry's melodramatic but tense thriller."

Straw is now available to stream on Netflix.
