Sinners

2025

★★★★★ Watched

I had to wait like two months until basically the final showing because I couldn't be part of the hype (and there's something broken about brain).

There are so many things that make a movie memorable: plot, writing, costumes, performances, sound design, set design.

2025

★★★★ Liked Watched

This movie ripped so hard.

I fucking love these movies so much and I would watch one like every 6 months and be happy forever.

★★★ 1

The acting is solid, the ideas it's playing with are interesting, and the dialogue is witty and feels human (for the most part). The plot feels underdeveloped; a major let down.

It is also a liiiiiiitle to on the nose and pretentious for me. At moments, I felt like I was watching someone's edgy YouTube essay transcribed into a screen play. Or, someone's college film thesis on a big budget.

It desperately needed nuance. It did not have it.

when the expectation when you went to the movies wasn't to have an existential epiphany about some deeply philosophical theme you may or may not relate to?

when dialogue in a movie wasn't intended to reflect reality but was intended to be artful and surreal because movies are fake and not real?

when movies were fun?

I constantly hear…
