Ryan Coogler is now being praised as one of the best filmmakers of our time.
In fact, Ive seen nothing but praise for it.
Spoilers for Sinners ahead.Im very happy that this film has gotten the reception it has.
Sorry, I Really Didnt Like Sinners
Well, kind of.
Maybe its more accurate to say that I didnt likehalfof Sinners.
I loved the first half of Sinners.
The explorations of each character died with them.
Every interesting thread was left hanging.
Whats A Review Worth?
I really wanted to love Sinners.
More than anything, it was a reminder that reviews cant guarantee an audience anything.
Ive writtentimeandtime againthat review scores dont mean anything not in games, and not in movies, either.
A review, even an unscored one, is totally subjective to the reviewer.
Im not going to throw a tantrum about it.
I write critically about things, and people disagree with me all the time.
Take, for example, that some people got upset with me for sayingSplit Fictions story is very bad.
Critical consensus, by nature, cannot cover the breadth of opinion that exists about a specific thing.
