Reflection Recommendation # 3 - Sinners

Check in out while it is in theaters

This is the latest film by Ryan Coogler, best known for being the director of the Black Panther movies. If you have a chance to see this in a movie theater, I recommend that you do it. It was shot to be seen in iMax and there are some scenes that I found to be really beautiful on the big screen in a way that makes it worth it to see now.

Set in the Mississippi Delta, it follows the story of two twin brothers and their younger cousin who want to open a juke joint. Like Jordan Peele’s Get Out, this movie integrates the real-life horror of racism with the fictional horror of vampires and it is visually powerful.

I also want to note that Ryan Coogler was able to negotiate a deal for this film where the rights revert back to him in 25 years which is important given how many Black artists never own the work that they produce. So I hope you will check it out and that we can lean into a conversation about it.
