Sinners (2025)

this movie is absolutely beautiful. i was hesitant to watch it because i don’t care for vampire stories, but this is way more than just a “vampire story.” it shows the beauty of black culture while also discussing the very real aspect of oppression, especially back in the jim crow era, where this movie takes place. the scary scenes were scary, the sad scenes were sad, and everything in between did it’s job correctly. i wish i could see this movie for the first time again. every actor did amazing in this, but miles caton, the actor for sammie, did a phenomenal job… finding out this was his first big role was a shock. this movie is an excellent conversation starter for multiple different topics because of how impactful it is. ryan coogler is a director that is a force to be reckoned with. absolutely stunning movie
