Robert does something trifling and Melinda explodes. Then, Robert makes it out safe and Melinda confronts him about cheating on her and passes out after her accident and is rushed to the hospital for an emergency full hysterectomy, rendering her unable to bear children. His scripts are lazily written morality plays that abruptly shift tone from comedy to tragedy. Just as she was set on killing Diana, Robert saved his wife and sent Melinda overboard, only for the villainess to climb back on the boat armed with an axe. ©2017 Village Voice, LLC. She also adopted a delusional belief that Robert's lavish lifestyle was owed to her, and she filed a lawsuit against Robert and Diana for the money she spent supporting his goal, as well as a portion of Robert's wealth--under the false claim that the deal was done before the divorce was finalized. Later on, you'd hate Melinda's sisters. So Melinda goes over to his RV to see what he is doing. Melinda Moore is a steadfast, hardworking wife who supports her husband, Robert Gayle, an engineer trying to sell an innovative battery design. Meanwhile, Robert struck it rich with his battery, and he went to Melinda's workplace with a bouquet of roses for her, along with a $10 million check and the key to her mother's house, revealing that he bought back the deed for her. No wonder she felt like she had to get even. Melinda and Robert later went to the latter's RV, where the pair embraced and began their romantic relationship, while one of his Nina Simone records was playing. Melinda bumps into engineering student Robert during college, goes into a rage and assaults him physically and verbally, revealing her normal tendencies. Acrimony is one interesting movie. At first you'd hate Robert based on the illustrations.

He has made a ludicrously scattershot drama in which overwrought feminine rage, diary-of-a-mad-woman craziness, and inept filmmaking are all but inseparable.What makes it genuinely befuddling is that for a while, at least, it seems as if Melinda is telling the straight-up truth. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. The reason why Mel kept saying he did not love her was because he knew Why she divorced him. We’re here to see the great Taraji P.
