“Man, the things you give up.”
I’ve been sitting with Sing Sing since I watched it late last night. So much so that I didn’t know how to go about logging it or talking about it.
But after sitting with it, all I can really think about is how powerful of a voice it has.
The script, penned by director Greg Kwedar and Clint Bentley, is superbly written. It’s the backbone of this film, and one that guides the performers and audience…
“I haven’t had this much fun in years.”
The film oozes with style, and makes it one of Steven Soderbergh’s best in years.
Stunning sets, incredible fits, a witty script and great, fun performances make this one fun as hell time at the theater.
The story itself is fun and mostly concise, and has many exciting set pieces, with the two at the dinner table the most enthralling and the first doing a great job of setting the tone for…
“Are you a freak?”
I came into this with zero expectations and no attachment to Bob Dylan.
I was all the better for it, and was really riveted with what I watched.
Powerful performances top to bottom, a bountiful of singing that’s captured amazingly well and enthralls you and really fun cinematography led by a really good script and a steady, strong hand from James Mangold makes A Complete Unknown a bonafide banger.
It zigs, for the most part, when…
“War is coming. How will you handle it when you feel its breathe down your neck?”
I’m speechless.
This is a masterpiece from Denis.
From the absolutely stunning visuals and cinematography, to the world exploration to the actors who are all giving it 1,000%, to the heart-pounding score and action to the small, intimate, emotional moments with Chani and Paul, this is visual storytelling of the highest skill.
It’s emotional. It’s beautiful. It’s fun. It’s thrilling. It’s action-packed. It’s heartbreaking.
It’s a masterpiece with zero flaws at all.
Bravo, Denis and Co. I admire all of you.
