IS IT REALLY THAT GOOD? Sinners (2025) - Breakdown Movie Review with Jay & Sebrenia

Sinners (2025) - Movie Review with Jay & Sebrenia Sinners Breakdown! We dive deep into all aspects of the production: from the visual effects, the themes, costuming, production design, and music. In this episode of Critic by Night, Jay and Dru review Sinners (2025) — the powerful new horror drama directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan. After working together on Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther, Coogler and Jordan reunite for a darker, more intimate story about guilt, justice, and the cost of redemption. We unpack the performances, the visual style, the haunting score, and how this film fits into Coogler’s already iconic filmography. 🎬 Is Sinners a modern masterpiece or just Oscar bait? We’ve got thoughts. If you're a fan of smart, emotional storytelling, or just want to hear our hot takes on the year’s most talked-about release, this one’s for you. #SinnersMovie #RyanCoogler #MichaelBJordan #MovieReview #CriticByNight #FilmPodcast #OscarBuzz #ThrillerMovies #sinners #ryancoogle #sinnersmovie
