Sinners

I never quite understood why many grouped Ryan Coogler into the same young director tier as Gerwig, Chazelle, Peele, Eggers, Aster, or the Safdies. After seeing Sinners I would like to formally apologize to Coogler because he is now firmly cemented in that group.

The film feels alive. It feels sexy. There is blues music that will rattle your bones. There is violence. There is Irish music that makes you want to get up and dance. There is temptation. There is longing. There is a sequence that makes you want to stand up and clap. There is the allure of the other side. There is culture. There is blood. There is a sex scene that will make you blush. There is a score that will leave you speechless. There is brotherly love. There is rekindled love. There is lost love. There is young love. There is community. There is family. It is gritty. It is bold. It is soulful. Oh and did I mention, there are even vampires!

There is just about everything here.

It’s incredibly deep & fully realized, yet at the same time is still SO much fun.

This is why we go to the movies, folks!

Can’t wait to see it a second, third, and maybe even a fourth time in theaters.
