Sinners is a phenomenal film from top to bottom. Although it's readily classified as a horror film, this movie boasts a versatility that permeates multiple genres. The steadfast & unique performances of the cast are the lynchipin of the film's foundation, coupled with accoutrements of high quality cinematography, historical storytelling, musical performances & societal commentary. On it's surface, this movie offers all the nuts and bolts of a typically entertaining movie (action, lore etc) but it's true essence lies beneath it's many substantive layers. Most prominently, the film functions as an allegorical mirror or lens through which culture, race and humanity are reflected and examined. In this regard, the film offers a commentary on human nature, race relations, cultural identity, love, relationships, freedom and identity. P. S~ In rebuttal to the commentary that this film 'copies' it's predecessors: I would argue that Sinners differs from it's prior inspirational works concerning it's greater depth, nuance, substance, social commentary, messaging and or historical storytelling.
