Sing Sing

In the confines of the Sing Sing Penitentiary is an explosive group of people - from different circumstances and paths of life - each exploring the beauty and importance of theatre and performance. Colman Domingo is so mesmerising. From the first moment we see him, we understand his importance as the bedrock for this program and these men. His character evolution is not overbearing in its anger and selfishness, it is human and heartfelt. Clarence Maclin is so authentic; so much of his emotions and feelings is presented through his physical acting and energy. The fact that many of this cast were real-life alumni of the RTA program is so heartwarming and the authenticity they bring transcends this entire film. The love that they have for each other really shines through and presents a version of 'masculinity' that is so refreshing under the backdrop of a correctional facility.
