Sing Sing

"Hey uh... this hat was supposed to be Egyptian? It's definitely more phoenician." Manages to tell a heart-wrenching, brilliant, and sometimes hilarious story about incarcerated men enjoying the little things without any of the played out prison stereotypes. I cannot express how effortlessly the dialog flows and how flawlessly the cast expresses such complicated emotions in their meta on screen acting. Having seen this in a screen unseen with no prior knowledge, I was absolutely blown away to learn this was not only a true story, but a majority of the main cast were involved in the real Sing Sing arts program! A real gem and likely to become much more popular again during Oscar season.
