I saw Sinners last night, and it fucking rips. Master director Ryan Coogler’s first-ever fully original film, a vampire story where Coogler’s regular collaborator Michael B. Jordan plays two twin-brother roles, has been a hugely anticipated event for a long time, and I can say that it lived up to all my expectations. (I took my kids, which might not have been the best idea, since that thing earns its R rating. We all had a great time, though, so fuck it.) The story is about two brothers who attempt to open a juke joint in ’30s Mississippi, and it’s way more focused on blues music that I realized. At some points, it’s almost a muiscal. The soundtrack has to carry a lot of weight, and it delivers.
