Sinners Ratings & Reviews
- COCOApril 15, 2025We’re only in April and I’m afraid this already might be movie of the year.
- lekin532d agoAmazing movie! I dont rewatch movies often, I just did and will do again sometime soon.
- ss443d agoThis wasn't what i expected and yet it still defied all my expectations.
- CHIEFS PRIME4d agoThis movie is special because literally every single one of the actors in it, works their ass off. Full of symbolism and old school morality. It works as a period piece, it works as a thriller, the action set pieces are well done, charachters are built up before they are torn down and the ending is out of the ordinary. Not a lot of movies can pull off being unpredictable.
- Kit LazerApril 18, 2025It’s a horror movie about vampires in the American South, 1932, but that’s all just set dressing. It’s such an intoxicating blend of genres, a movie that is a melting pot just like the cultural heritage this movie explores. A lot of times when one actor plays two characters in a movie, it’s neat but the performances suffer, it feels like a gimmick, but Michael B. Jordan is able make Smoke and Stack feel like two distinct, living, breathing people. It’s part crime-thriller, there’s a dash of a coming-of-age story, drama, romance, notes of a musical, it’s a stew packed with spices, and the horror simmers and simmers before coming to a rolling boil, kinda like FROM DUSK TIL DAWN. I would have watched four hours of this. I want more. It’s gorgeous, you’ve gotta see it on the biggest screen possible to appreciate the scope, the aspect ratio changes – the Cinematographer was Autumn Arkapaw, one of far too few women in charge of the camera. The sound track is alive, it’s the main character, the pulse of the movie but the score, by Ludwig Göransson who just won an Oscar for composing OPPENHEIMER and won previously for composing BLACK PANTHER, is the fangs always lurking underneath. There’s so much subtext to sink your teeth into here, the way Coogler brings in Asian immigrants, the Irish, Indigenous People – and makes it a story about all of these hardworking people, the people who bulit the real America just trying to cut loose, be free. What does freedom look like? Drinking deep, playing cards, singing from the gut about things you can’t explain you just know, dancing until you sweat; and sex, desire, can’t forget that, the writhing pulsing primal urges. But the powers that be warn all who have toiled and suffered under the sun all day to make them safe and rich that any who engage in this wanton abandon are SINNERS. They say, "Yes, you’ve worked our fields, yes, you’ve fought our wars overseas but don’t you dare sing and dance and be merry on this land you’ve bled for." Go see Sinners. Trust me, you’ve earned it.
- DarlingInThePlexxApril 20, 2025This is hands down the best movie I’ve seen in years. I’m not even being dramatic—Sinners connected to me emotionally in a way few movies ever do. The character development? Flawless. The symbolism? Chef’s kiss. The music? Oh my God the music. It’s the kind of soundtrack you don’t just hear—you feel it in your bones. And I’m not even a hardcore blues fan like that. That’s how good it is. I saw Sinners TWICE—and if you’re near a 70mm IMAX screening? Run. It’s absolutely worth it. That one scene with the dancing? Literal goosebumps. Unreal. Some people don’t call this a horror movie, but to me, it’s cultural horror at its finest. Not everyone fears the same things—and Sinners understands that on a level most movies never touch. Michael B. Jordan gave a phenomenal performance, but honestly? The whole cast crushed it. No weak links. Just pure storytelling, heart, and atmosphere. Not seeing Sinners should be illegal, frankly.
- Hadiyah WeaverApril 20, 2025Too beautiful to put into words. A MUST SEE!!! Def going to be in my top movies of 2025!
- Audrey LaymanMay 11, 2025Hot take - but I should’ve walked out of the theater when vampires who met 5 mins prior broke out in a choreographed song & dance number. 2 hours of my life gone, a bellyache from popcorn, and nothing to show for it but a plot that never showed up.
- KRRool4d agoGreat music and sound. Also some pretty decent cinematography for a modern film. Exceeded expectations and quite entertaining.
- SkyShazadMay 18, 2025Way over Hyped. SO, I don't understand why this has got such high rating, its not a bad film, but its also over rated, I mean its a good movie, but nowhere is it as good as people are making out, I don't think its the best film of the year, Infact i don't even think I would watch it again,, Don't get me wrong, its decent film, But no way as good as people make it out to be
- E-RankApril 25, 2025SINNERS is certainly one of the great films of 2025 and may even become a cult title in the future. The work stands out for its emotional intensity and disturbing approach to human morality, with a narrative that manages to maintain tension throughout its duration, exploring themes such as guilt, regret and the search for redemption, without resorting to easy or simplistic solutions. The film follows a group of characters who, in a subtle way, find themselves confronted with their own flaws and choices that mark them irreversibly. The performances are one of the film's strong points, with Michael B. Jordan playing two roles brilliantly as the twins Smoke and Stack. However, it is young actor Miles Caton who steals all the spotlight in his absolute debut on the big screen. The entire main cast convincingly conveys the psychological complexities of their characters, as well as the motivations and internal conflicts that make them real and relatable despite the extreme circumstances. Although, in rare moments, the exploration of emotions could be more subtle, conveying a somewhat forced intensity. SINNERS is visually fantastic, using sublime and dark photography, which complements the oppressive atmosphere of the plot. Combined with this technical aspect, the greatest asset of this work is its electrifying soundtrack! The way music interacts with the image reveals a remarkable mastery of sound art, becoming an essential part of the cinematic experience. There is no doubt that SINNERS is also one of the best vampire films released to date and it is recommended that it be seen in a movie theater (preferably in IMAX), which will make this experience unforgettable.
- tomwillis816d agoThis is like a period drama version of From Dusk Till Dawn. It's a bit bloated and overdrawn in parts and some scenes added nothing to the plot or story. There is absolutely no reason for Michael B Jordan to play two different characters, it just seems like a gimmick. He plays both brothers almost the same. It's hard to tell which is which quite often. There is some great music and some beautiful visuals with some likable characters and settings.
- NOTDecember 28, 2025No comment
- Darren McKennaJuly 12, 2025I am not a big vampire fan, the landscape is littered with crappy vampire films. This film however gels so well with the storyline and the magnificent cast. Seeing Buddy Guy was the icing on top of the cake. Ryan Coogler adds another feather in his cap with yet another homerun of a film. Michael B. Jordan does double duty in identical brothers, A great supporting staff with Delroy Lindo with yet another strong performance. RT gave Sinners 97% for a reason. One of the best films out in many years.
- Demonxl101December 27, 2025An hour too long, too preachy, mostly too boring, and characters make classic stupid decisions, and it is not very good. I have no idea why everyone loves this movie. I wouldn't watch it 2nd time. At least the ending wrapped up everything in a decent manner.
