[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sinners has the aesthetic of a Marvel movie. And that should only be seen as a compliment for those with prepubescent tastes.

It really is a shame that far superior films in the past by Black directors like Do the Right Thing, Devil in a Blue Dress, Killer of Sheep, etc. got overlooked by the Academy for racial reasons and they’re now overcompensating by hyping up middlebrow slop like Sinners. [/quote]

I agree...  but I'd even argue that most of Hollywood is disappointing, to the point that the Oscars don't really seem that meaningful anymore

I personally just prefer international film at this point[/quote]

Let this sink in. Sinners received more nominations than Godfather 2 and 2001: A Space Odyssey COMBINED. [/quote]

Crazy when you think that year also had The Conversation and Chinatown.

while commercially successful, I don't think people will be talking about Sinners 50 years later.

Get Out covered a lot of the same themes, was also in the horror genre, and I think will ultimately stick with me longer.

However the music/dance sequences in Sinners are really amazing and I think will be remembered both for the feelings they evoked and the technical way they were put together.  That's the best part of the movie to me. I was underwhelmed by the rest but especially the end. I felt the movie just devolved into horror tropes in the third act.[/quote]
