AroView: Michael B. Jordan plays twin brothers in this stunning folklore thriller that literally has The Blues running through its bloodstream, some of which spurts.
It’s a kick-ass, cocksure musical, vampire flick and gangland Western rolled into a trenchant, empowering statement on historical race relations and Faustian mythology that might just represent a new highpoint of confidence in Black cinema.
“The way [director] Coogler resolves Sinners’ central ideas within a traditional horror story framework is truly masterful. He plays the audience like a fiddle. Or a blues guitar.” ~Matt Singer, ScreenCrush
“This is a one-of-a-kind experience that simply doesn’t come around very often. Hyperbole or not, I’m willing to bet we’ll be talking about “Sinners” for a long time to come.” ~Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm
“As much arthouse as grindhouse, it’s a blood-drenched mix tape that shouldn’t work. But it does, thanks to Coogler’s muscular direction, a terrific cast, enveloping IMAX visuals, body-quaking sound and music that stirs the soul while setting the pulse racing.” ~David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
