Sinners

"Blues wasn't forced on us like that religion. Nah, son, we brought that with us from home. It's magic what we do. It's sacred... and big." I managed to catch Sinners in the cinema again recently, and it only confirmed what I already felt the first five times I watched it, this film is something special. If it keeps getting theatrical screenings, I will keep going. No question. Sinners is always one of my favourite cinematic experiences. It’s the kind of film that just belongs on the big screen, the atmosphere, the performances, the scale of it all. Every time I see it, I notice something new. With the Oscars approaching, I’ve definitely noticed the hype around Sinners growing. Personally, I’m still rooting for One Battle After Another, but honestly I won’t be disappointed at all if Sinners ends up taking the Best Picture. At this point it feels like a choice between two masterpieces, and either win would feel deserved. And while we’re talking awards, I also wouldn’t be surprised (or disappointed) if Michael B. Jordan walked away with the Oscar. His performance here is phenomenal and absolutely worthy of that recognition. Especially considering Timmy has been a bit of a prick lately and may well have torpedoed his own chances. Either way, I’m just glad I got to experience Sinners in the cinema again. It’s a film that reminds you why the theatrical experience still matters, and I’ll happily keep going back whenever I get the chance. 2025 2026 Oscar Nominations Ranked
