This was outstanding. I knew absolutely nothing about this film and was floored by everything that happened in this. Incredible performances. Master class of talent all around.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 15, 2025

The highlight of the film comes from the passion and audacity of Coogler to incorporate a multitude of issues, and his ability to service each of them.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 14, 2025

Vast, expansive and full-throated, this epic genre exercise from writer-director Ryan Coogler is a whole lot of movie, predominantly for the right reasons.

Sinners is thoughtful and wildly entertaining, sexy and haunting, gory and thrilling, lively and whimsical. It takes its sweet time to get where it’s going, but when it arrives at its biggest moments, the film delivers on spectacle of sweeping scale.

There’s an astonishing scene … where young Sammie is wailing on the guitar and causing the time streams to come together, … a dose of magical realism that elevates “Sinners” into something as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 10, 2025

While often insightful about the way we’re tempted and how evil can be naively trifled with, Coogler’s movie doesn’t have a robust view of indwelling sin and moral culpability.

Sinners is one of our great filmmakers exploring the outer limits of his gifts. Let Coogler cook.

Ambitious, electrifying, and a bit overstuffed.

| Original Score: B+ | May 9, 2025

Director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan hit box office magic by energizing familiar genres

| May 8, 2025

“Sinners” is crackerjack entertainment with brains and soul – and is easily one of the best movies of the year so far.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 8, 2025

Sinners' best moments shine when Coogler is able to weave his true intentions into this fucked up vampire fever dream. The music is incredible and Miles Caton gives one hell of a debut performance. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 7, 2025

This is a story told through its music, and it's so well done.

Sinners is not just one of the best installments of the new “Vampire Renaissance” but one of the best installments of the vampire mythos and perhaps the best film of his illustrious career.

...an ambitious, distinct failure.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 6, 2025

A rare example of an original film that’s also a crowd pleaser, it’s another victory for one of the industry’s most industrious director-star duos.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 6, 2025

Coogler’s masterful evocation of intertwined mythical and political horrors gives Sinners a visceral punch that so many Hollywood movies lack.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 6, 2025

One of the year's best movies, Sinners is one simply not to be missed.

| Original Score: A | May 4, 2025

Dynamic and sexy, Sinners is a genre-defying masterpiece that pulsates with energy and life and pitch perfect performances. More please. Five stars

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 4, 2025

[Ryan] Coogler gets dangerously close to the horrifying center of American culture over the course of the single night — close enough for Sinners to dance with America’s original sin.

| May 4, 2025

'Sinners' leans into imaginative storytelling, resulting in a compelling original story that lures us in with terror and keeps us captivated with the very human condition at the heart of it all.

| Original Score: A+ | May 2, 2025
