First of all, the cast of this movie is incredible. Michael B. Jordan plays a pair of brothers, Stack and Smoke, who return to Mississippi to open a juke joint. He’s joined on screen by Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Wunmi Mosaku (who was seriously snubbed by the Golden Globes), Miles Caton and more. The performances are deep, layered, nuanced and moving.
Jordan, in particular, makes you laugh one minute, terrifies you the next and then breaks your heart the moment after. The man is nominated for an acting Golden Globe, and I’d be very surprised if he didn’t take home the trophy, along with a subsequent Oscar.
In my colleague’s review of the film, she wrote, “I feel confident saying that this is Jordan’s best role to date… Playing a dual role is the ultimate of an actor’s prowess…not an easy task by any means, but one Jordan does with ease.”
The film is beautifully crafted by director Coogler. What initially feels like a period drama quickly takes a genre-bending turn with a series of tense and thrilling twists that truly kept me on the edge of my seat. Sinners is a movie about race, racism and racial tensions. But it’s also about history, horror, family, love and redemption. (Keep an eye out for Coogler in the Best Director and Best Picture categories this awards season.)
Obviously, I’m not alone in considering Sinners to be the best film of the year. It debuted to a whopping 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes (and has since settled at a near-perfect 97 percent).
