‘Sinners’ is the most brilliant film in Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s careers. The stunning visuals, beautiful score and outstanding performances culminate a perfectly balanced film. ‘Sinners’ proves to be more than a play on its title. It explores appropriation of culture, erasure of history, and the assimilation of belief systems. Michael B. Jordan delivers the standout performance of his career as two similar and yet subtly different characters. He expresses nuances to their demeanors, speech patterns and mannerisms. Surrounded by an equally brilliant cast, you find yourself engrossed with everyone on screen. The music is a character in itself, moving the story and weaving emotional strings that will fill you with joy and at times sadden your heart. The songs act as a pulse throughout the film. It quickens, it slows, its nervous, its angry, its hopeful, it is everything. ‘Sinners’ is a must see film and proves to be story telling at its absolute best.
