EDIT
“Whether it’s the eerie atmosphere and introspective interrogation of 21st-century commerce and capitalism in Cloud’s first half, or the marked shift into a balls-to-the-wall action-thriller in the second, Kurosawa keeps you on the edge of your seat.” –

Sinners (2025)
97%
EDIT
“Calling Sinners a genre mashup doesn’t even really capture the degree to which it feels like Ryan Coogler has invented his own new genre; a fusion of period drama, social politics, character study, scintillating romance, and full-on nightmare fuel horror.” –

“Takes a simple and powerful morality conflict—"What would you do if you believed you found the person responsible for your greatest trauma?"—and turns it into an absolute powder keg with so many combustible ideas and dilemmas.” –
