Sinners movie spoiler-free review:
Apr. 27th, 2025 12:58 amGo see this movie. In the theaters while it's still there, if at all possible. This was kind of a religious experience.
There are two feedback loops which reverberate throughout American history. The Positive feedback loop is the one of cultural survival against all odds, and cultural exchange. Of different peoples coming together in solidarity.
The Negative feedback loop is the Oppression/Colonization feedback loop. Of peoples (like the Irish, Welsh, and Scots) who were historically marginalized and colonized and oppressed coming here to colonize and oppress others.
The kicker is: we get to decide which one wins. And if the first one is finally allowed to defeat the second. Because it's the only way it ever will be truly defeated.
And that's all I can really say without spoiling this movie (but if you're following me on Bluesky or Tumblr: sorry, I might have done that already.)
