Sinners is a familiar film with a different mix. This film raises themes such as oppression, struggle, family, and destiny. For the core story, it may be familiar, but Coogler makes it seem new. They present the supernatural elements as a symbol of racism in that era, with tension that is built slowly but surely, although there are still some things that feel cliché. In addition, there are many layers that make this film feel deeper and more complicated. The characters, personally, it is a bit difficult to distinguish Elijah and Elias because they are so identical, especially when entering the last half, but for the others it is very good, have characters and their own backgrounds. The pacing is very good, enjoyable. The cinematography is very beautiful from beginning to end, with a gripping visual tone too. The production design is solid, making the western vibes even more prominent. The sound design may not be magnificent but the details can still be heard. The blues music not only beautifies, but also becomes part of the story. The acting from the cast is all good, Hailee Steinfeld here really stands out in playing her character. Overall, a highly anticipated film and the results is not disappointing.
