A Fall from Grace is a 2020 American thriller film produced, written, and directed by Tyler Perry and his first to be released by Netflix.

The film follows a woman who finds a dangerous new love and the novice attorney who defends her in a sensational court case.

Jasmine Bryant is a public defender who constantly takes plea deals in small town Virginia.

Jasmine is assigned by her boss Rory to defend Grace Waters, a woman accused of murdering her husband Shannon DeLong.

Grace insists that she is guilty and will agree to a plea deal if she goes to a prison close by her son Malcolm.

Rory is not pleased that Jasmine wants to represent the suspect because the department does not have the budget for a trial, and he expects the media frenzy will disrupt their lives.

In her cell, Grace thinks back to the times that Sarah was involved in her relationship with Shannon, and screams to the guards that she needs to call her lawyer.

Feeling defeated, Jasmine stops by Sarah's house (a residence for old ladies) and notices the elderly Alice trying to escape from it.

While everyone celebrates Grace's freedom, Rory congratulates Jasmine for uncovering such a crazy scheme and gives back her job.

"[5] On Metacritic, the film holds a rating of 34 out of 100, based on seven critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
