Sinners

FIRST MASTERPIECE OF THE YEAR! * *I walked out the theater speechless, everything about this film was done with precision, there is one scene (you’ll know it when you see it) that made my jaw drop and almost made me cry not cause it’s emotional cause it was that fucking good, made me feel like I was floating I don’t want to say more about that scene.  This isn’t just a film about vampires and evil, it’s about passion, love, community and the past. How they handle the history of Blue music is my favorite thing about it.  singing and incorporating that with everything going on and Ludwig Göransson is a fucking genius, he made the score feel like its own character both of these add so much depth to the story and to the characters with that comes the sound design, HOLY SHIT. sound design so good it almost made me stand up and dance. The acting from the entire cast was phenomenal there was a scene with Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B. Jordan that was really beautiful and emotional, but the one who stole the show every second he stepped on screen was Miles Caton. What a fucking kid. A generational acting debut, he stole the fucking show and his voice. Lord have mercy his voice is so beautiful. Every time he sings it’s like god gave me ears for the first time😂 my god.   I’ve seen alot of people say that this movie puts Ryan Coogler in the discussion for one of the best working directors ever and I agree, I think he’s gonna start going on a generational run after this, he’s operating on a whole different atmosphere at the moment and fun fact this is his first film that is completely original and isn’t based on an existing story and he knocked it out the fucking park HOME RUN!  I gotta praise Autumn Durald, how she captures each moment, how she makes every fucking scene so evil and fucked up but also make it beautiful and mesmerizing, it’s like watching a nightmare that I never wanna wake up from, how she captures the vampires in this almost softness and makes you think “wow they are gorgeous” that you almost forget that they’re dangerous, the eyes especially. Hats off to her really.  Now I’ve heard that the final part of the third act feels rushed and yes that’s what I also felt (at the beginning) but then came the ending and it totally changed how I feel, and it ties up everything so perfectly. Might go rewatch it in a few days tbh. Wow. 24 hours later update: i still haven’t stopped thinking about this film.
