Ryan Coogler's Sinners was an instant classic when it hit the 2025 movie schedule, gaining widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Despite that, I took far too long to watch what may become my favorite Michael B. Jordan movie, though Creed still holds a special place in my heart. I love this movie, and I think a large part of it is because of the Oscar-winning movie it reminds me of.
While this vampire period-piece certainly is in a league of its own in storytelling, I couldn't help but be reminded of my favorite movie of all time while watching. As it turns out, even the director acknowledged the similarities between Sinners and O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and I have to talk about it because I would love it if more people started copying these movies.
