Sing Sing

I didn’t think my local theater was going to get this so I was soooo stoked when Coleman Domingo showed up on screen at my AMC Unseen. I know it’s melodramatic to say that people live for art, but I don’t care; art does give people catharsis and liberation when they otherwise can’t find it—or when those things are taken from them. Coleman Domingo and Clarence Maclin (who is playing HIMSELF!!!) are my front runners for the Oscar’s 2025. Domingo is a total powerhouse and I can’t imagine anything else topping the care, attention, and depth he brought to this project. I also felt that all the other characters felt so natural and real, only to realize that they felt real because the actors playing them are the actual men who lived for the story, playing themselves. How special it is to see them actually get to tell their story.
