**Beautiful Filmmaking ** The world has gotten ugly. I think we can all agree. Even if you are one of those morons that thinks differnetly than I do- the one thing we can agree on is this shit ain’t cute.

But then Sinners.

Oh my Holy Father forgive me for the the thoughts I have had about Micheal B Jordan. But I would also do unholy things for Ryan Coogle, the director, of the movie- who worked with cinematographer Autumn Durald to bring a story that could have been hokey into the world of The Shining.

This is not only a kind offering to the people- starved as we are for a movie that we can laurel and praise and tell our grandkids ‘that was our generation’s stuff’, it is a statement. It is artists of multiple backgrounds looking out at the world of cheap labor, AI scripts, quick paychecks and saying “we will not go gently into that good night.”

This movie has so many points. As a privileged pale-ight with only my meager cinema/theater BS, I can not even begin to properly delve into all of them. But I will say this: There is night coming. There is a reckoning for art, for so much more. And clearly, there are people who are willing to fight.

Love this film.
