“A big-screen exultation — a passionate, effusive praise song about life and love, including the love of movies.” —Manohla Dargis, NYT Critic’s Pick, New York Times
“Feels like a filmmaker liberated: Coogler’s first original screenplay since 2012’s FRUITVALE STATION, and one bursting with ideas in its bloody, anarchic reflection on a history of black culture and artistry (and its continual appropriation).” —Kambole Campbell, Little White Lies
“Coogler doesn’t reinvent the vampire movie with SINNERS, but in a current era of American cinema where messages are force-fed, a thoughtful social satire which gives viewers time to dissect –– and never lets its loftier thematic aims get in the way of its junky thrills –– is a breath of fresh air. I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun, nor felt so reinvigorated by, a major studio genre movie.” —Alistair Ryder, Film Stage
