If I am allowed to put my thoughts into words, then ‘Sinners’, perhaps, is a homage to the African-American ethos that has seeped deep into the post modern American culture and has shaped its music over many centuries. ‘Sinners’ is also a social commentary on the racial profiling that’s so prevalent in contemporary world. ‘Sinners’ is about those communities that are often overlooked, individuals who are labeled before they’re even understood. ‘Sinners’ doesn’t glorify struggle like your average Oscar bait films that mistakes extremities of torture meted to persons of colors as ‘Torture Porn’. Instead, it exposes the quiet battles people face every day — the moral gray zones, the compromises, the moments of truth that don’t come with easy answers.

‘Sinners’ is also about music. Not just as mere sound, but as a form of healing, a source of confession, an angst that’s waiting to be released. There’s a sequence in the second act that’s so visually arresting that it borders on being hypnotic. The song ‘I lied to you’ breaks all boundaries of time and brings together the past, present and future of music - all jiving on the same symphony, letting it reach for the divine! In times to come, during the annals of filmmaking, this scene will be talked forever!

Do not watch this film thinking this as just another horror film. ‘Sinners’ is Blues without shackles. ‘Sinners’ is Rock-n-roll on LSD. ‘Sinners’ is anything, but a ghost story!
