As soon as Sinners was released, it was lauded for its “masterful visual storytelling and toe-tapping music.” The praise was universal and relentless, as any criticism of this movie usually results in scorn and nearly being shunned by society. At the very least, one is perceived as Family Guy‘s Peter Griffin when he dared to state that he did not care for The Godfather because “it insists upon itself.”
Does Sinners also “insist upon itself?” Well, with a running time of 137 minutes and the inclusion of prolongued scenes that can only be described as “revenge porn”, there’s definitely some insisting going on. But there’s more to this movie than Michael B. Jordan killing KKK members in slow motion.
The movie’s first half is a period...
