'Sinners': A black masterpiece of story telling . . .
Posted by Billy Wonka on April 22, 2025 at 18:50:18:
Jordan has clout. This production got a $90M budget, a wealth of supporting actors, and a story told in a highly compelling manner. The film is filled with blues, juke music, and choreography that becomes progressively wilder as the story gets crazier.
Delroy renders a great, natural performance as a drunken, Delta blues man. Wummi Mosaku plays Sammie, who is a spell-caster and on-again/off-again lover of Smoke in a compelling performance. There are other standouts that you will have to see to make your pick.
The film has a "false ending" where it picks back up for a final sequence. Then the titles roll by, we suddenly see Sammie playing the blues sixty years later when Stack and Mary enter the club to say "hello" and offer him eternal life. The credits continue to the very end, where Sammie plays a bit of the blues before the screen goes dark and out.
Highly compelling and worth the time.
