Sing Sing - Reviews

A narrative film inspired by the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) theatre program inside the titular maximum security prison...

Greg Kwedar’s sensitive, joyous Sing Sing does more than simply dramatize the workings of the RTA program, it incorporates participants into the very fabric of the film’s DNA.

...powerful, deeply felt drama takes theatre behind bars.

Domingo and Maclin deliver powerhouse performances.

...suggests that beauty and emotion might result if desperate, damaged men were allowed to find other ways to express themselves, and emphasises the power of art — even bad art — to change lives.

I learned, and rediscovered, a lot about film, theater, and the arts while watching “Sing Sing.” The more you sit with it, the more you admire everything it does and is.

Colman Domingo’s soulful performance keeps this prison story gripping and gritty.

You need to see Sing Sing for what it represents. It’s never too late to turn your life around.

Soaring and tender, this extraordinary drama has empathy enough to embrace its nuanced characters while rejecting the broken system that targets them.

...serves as a great advertisement for the RTA, an admirable and successful program that deserves all the support it can get, but it feels somewhat lacking as an actual production.

Colman Domingo och övrig ensemble övertygar med råge i denna känslosamma och verklighetsbaserade fängelsefilm om att våga känna – och orka hoppas.
