Sing Sing Reviews

If you’re an awards group that hands out a prize for best ensemble acting in a movie, there’s not a lot of reason to look further this year than Sing Sing.

| Apr 17, 2025

The film is one that is concerned with these imprisoned men as human figures striving to find corporeality in a harsh world. Within its gentle hopefulness, it feels quietly revolutionary too.

| Apr 13, 2025

There's nothing corny or bleeding-heart about Sing Sing's promotion of theater as a healing force for the working-class man's soul...This movie makes a powerful case for the kind of programs that are currently on the federal chopping block.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 9, 2025

...[art] can be transformative. Not immediately, not directly, but it is. And I think [Sing Sing] shows it in a very sensitive and very, very emotional way. [Full review in Spanish]

...[Sing Sing] has a structure that at times seems theatrical in itself, but that, based on the editing and lighting, is told as an exciting film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 28, 2025

...[Colman] Domingo's performances...and those of his fellow inmates are noble in their purpose, dispelling any sentimental tricks to gain sympathy, and embracing the acting talents to which they aspire, their possible redemption.[Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 27, 2025

Thanks to [Colman Domingo's] performance, Sing Sing avoids falling into the typical clichés of prison films, with a story that is moving without ever losing its realism. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 24, 2025

It’s a serious work, though one that may be challenging to engage with as pure entertainment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 10, 2025

In Sing Sing, the other guy is better, a more dynamic and volatile screen presence.

| Mar 4, 2025

There are so many things to say about this amazing movie. It gets you in the guts and it gets you in the feels. Colman Domingo got an Oscar nomination for this role and it's well-earned.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Feb 21, 2025

SING SING is not just a beautifully made, powerfully acted prison drama – it’s living proof of what can be achieved when we nurture compassion and creativity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2025

Led by a magnificent Colman Domingo, this prison drama proposes a shocking reconciliation of art and resilience. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 11, 2025

The organic visual aesthetic generates warmth for a story set in a place that maintains its spiritual chilliness even when Divine G sweats through long nights in his bunk, unable to sleep from the heat.

| Feb 11, 2025

The best film of 2024. A beautiful example of real life and reel life blending in the most unique and inspiring manner possible.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 5, 2025

Colman Domingo is one of our finest actors and he continues to soar in this special film that highlights how theatre and art can transform one's mind for the better.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 28, 2025

‘Sing Sing’ is sensitive without being saccharine—sometimes elating, sometimes tearful. It deserves accolades.

| Original Score: A- | Jan 28, 2025

Domingo puts forth what might be the strongest performance of his career.

| Jan 27, 2025

A pretty funny and earthy slice of prison life, anchored by an unsentimental and quite bracing performance from Colman Domingo, the world's most watchable man.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 24, 2025

I'm bothered by its muddy cinematography. And I'm not particularly moved by Colman Domingo and Clarence Maclin's much-praised performances. In short: I'm quite bored. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jan 23, 2025

Sing Sing does not seek to give us a message, but to make us share in the greatness of art, perhaps the last refuge of goodness, repentance and humanity. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 17, 2025
