Acrimony
Faithful wife Melinda, who is tired of standing by her devious husband Robert, is enraged when it becomes clear she has been betrayed. That's when she lost it, and now she cannot let it go.

Robert accepts Prescott's multi million dollar battery deal
Melinda attacks Robert on yacht and drowns via anchor
The revelation of Robert's success and wealth after the divorce completely flipped audience sympathies from supporting Melinda to understanding Robert's perspective.
Acrimony starts modestly but builds to its strongest moments during the middle act when Robert's invention succeeds, creating a compelling moral reversal that impressed critics. The film falters in its final act as Melinda's behavior becomes increasingly unhinged, though many reviewers appreciated Tyler Perry's attempt at a more complex narrative than his usual formula.
