Sinners, 2025 - ★★★★½

Honestly I didn't know that Ryan Coogler had a movie like that in him. One of the more powerful films about the true nature of the devil that I've seen. Nosferatu offers the classic Gothic vision of the devil as all encompassing darkness, sickness and contagion.

Sinners knows better.

Sinners knows the true lies the devil shares. Sinners knows that we have more in common with the devil than we like to admit. That sometimes, it's good to have a drink with him and kick around old times.

All the best influences - from Dusk til Dawn, to Django, to every folk tale about Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson that you ever heard or imagined.

A masterpiece. Bravo.
