The film, which premiered on February 23rd, has been generating buzz for its steamy scenes, shocking twists, and controversial topics.
The film follows Mea as she takes on the case of Zyair Malloy (Trevante Rhodes), a famous artist who is accused of killing his girlfriend. However, things get complicated when the two develop a sexual attraction and begin an affair. Mea soon discovers that Zyair is hiding a dark secret that could put her life in danger.
Mea Culpa is Tyler Perry’s fifth film for Netflix, following A Fall From Grace and A Jazzman’s Blues. The film is also Rowland’s first collaboration with the director.
When talking about the Motivation singer in an interview with Netflix, Tyler said:
“I know she’s a great singer and artist, but for her to take all of that art and bring it directly to the film was really fantastic…. As an actress, she is 100% invested. She’s there.”
The movie’s plot explores themes such as infidelity, betrayal, justice, and forgiveness. The title, which means “through my fault” in Latin, refers to the concept of admitting one’s guilt and responsibility.
Mea Culpa has received mixed reviews since its release. Some viewers have praised the performances of the cast, especially Rowland and Rhodes, but criticized the plot holes, inconsistencies, and implausibilities of the story.
Some also found the film to be too predictable, clichéd, and sensationalized. However, the film’s entertainment value and drama has been well received by most.
