Sinners is the title of an American period action horror film produced, written, and directed by Ryan Coogler. Released in theatres this Friday, its story is set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta. Sinners has been flooded with raving reviews all over.
Rotten Tomatoes has a 98% rating from 216 critics, averaging 8.7/10. Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 84 out of 100, based on 51 critics. "Michael B Jordan plays a double role in Coogler’s intriguing period tale of anti-heroic brothers making their way into a much wilder country," wrote The Guardian.
Specific instances in the movie have been lauded. "The barn-burner sequence in Sinners is hypnotic and spellbinding. The overlapping music styles and dance choreography! The camerawork! The sound design mix! It’s a full-body sensory experience. My soul levitated," wrote Courtney Howard.
In its review, The Hindu opined that director Ryan Coogler sheds a decade of franchise skin to deliver a sweltering dream of the American South, summoning the ghosts of Black music and memory into a single, blood-soaked bite.
The film also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku and others. Sinners has music by Ludwig Göransson.
