Sinners Ratings & Reviews
- ntgthanks1d agoBest movie of the Year
- jack276002d agoGood...but maybe a bit over-hyped. Take out the vulgar parts of the dialog and scenes and you have a terrifying and fun delta blues vampire flick.
- elonleikkaaja2d agoYeah the opinion of the Oscar jury no longer carries much weight - especially after Anora. This film starts slowly and interestingly, but the plot comes to a complete standstill when the barn siege begins.
- OLiX3d agoInteresting Oscar movie. Not what I was expecting
- COCOApril 15, 2025We’re only in April and I’m afraid this already might be movie of the year.
- Jbarriga934d agoA good vampire movie but definitely overrated.
- 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.
- John Williams4d agoIt was a good horror movie. Good cinematography and music. At times is was hard to understand the dialog. I am not sure if it is worthy of 16 oscar nominvations.
- CapSwey4d agoPredictible, and to me just another From Dusk Till Dawn clone. Ridiculous, the 16 Academy Award nominations this film received. Does it say anything about the rest of this year movies or is it just another political thingy? Either way, you can not be serious giving this many nominations to this film, period.
- John F. Doran4d agoThis is a really good movie. However, I don't see it as being so exceptional as to earn 16 Academy Award Nominations. I just don't get the hype.
- Hadiyah WeaverApril 20, 2025Too beautiful to put into words. A MUST SEE!!! Def going to be in my top movies of 2025!
- pablo rivero5d agoIt's an interesting movie, but I don't think it deserves the 16 Oscar nominations they gave it.
- jhcou45d agoWorst academy award nominated movie I have ever seen
- 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.
