Sinners
while it’s shaking the ground in the west, sinners somehow makes absolutely no noise in turkey, so i keep putting it off. a little voice inside me insists i won’t like it — or at least that it won’t manage to hit a nerve, let alone make my heartstrings tremble.
on a cold december evening, desperately looking for a film to fix my sunday blues (yes, pun very much intended), i think: why not — and press play.
bam.
right in front of me, a full-on cinematic bomb unfolds, instantly shaming me for my prejudice. it wraps itself around me, stands firmly on its own two feet, and makes me fall in love with its grounded confidence. this is it: the mother of all stories. fear itself.
and the music. the music.
with every single cast member delivering a stellar performance — and michael b. jordan giving a truly, actually oscar-worthy, gloriously showy turn — this is it.
this is horror.
this is a vampire story.
this is cinema.
