one of my favourite movies of all time, and exactly race-uplifting movie that people needed in 2025. obviously i can't really talk about sinners without being political, but i'll try.
as a horror movie, it works great in the sense that it takes the first hour to set up its likeable and diverse characters so that when they start getting killed off you actually care and feel strong emotions, a concept which i think a lot of horror movies nowadays fail to grasp.
there's also the historical aspect of it, which to my knowledge is fairly accurate and depicts what was really going on in the south in the 30's.
and then there's the musical aspect of it and if you know me or have read any of my reviews you know i love a good score, and sinners really delivers in that regard.
obviously, there's the whole michael b. jordan playing two characters thing which is amazing, but i feel enough people have said that already. the actor i want to focus on and compliment is miles caton, who plays sammy/preacher boy and if you didn't know this is his first feature film, or rather first anything as sinners really brought him into the spotlight and i look forward to seeing where he'll take his already top-teir career.
overall, a great rewatch for me, and everyone else i've watched it with has loved it also, so if you haven't seen sinners, you should definitely check it out.
