Sing Sing
Short review: this is special, it’s one of the best this year and it’s truly remarkable. Domingo deserves all the praise he’s getting and more along with everyone else attached. (At this point I haven’t seen the brutalist but Domingo is my front runner for best actor and Clarence Mackin for supporting)
Longer-ish review: Is this my favorite of the year? No but it’s one of the most important films I’ve watched and it has something about that just feels like we all need to watch it and take something from it, if that makes any sense. It’s hard for me to ignore everything I’ve heard about this movie and the impressive things it does, I’ve been watching all the actor roundtables and actors on actors and various interviews with Colman Domingo as we gear up for the Oscars and the way he talks about this movie and now after seeing it you can tell it’s one of those films that’s just extremely important and truly remarkable. As the credits roll and you see the various actors playing themselves it’s like kind of heartbreaking in a sad but also wow kind of way. You can just tell a lot of love and thought was put into this project and I’m just happy stories like this are being told.
