Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Konchalovsky presents us with a Rome and Florence unlike the colorful travel brochures we're accustomed to, with cameras paying stringent attention to the dirt and grit of the time period. Rated: 3/4 Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Manuel Betancourt Variety "Sin" works hard to make you smell the stench of its surroundings - making Michelangelo and his artistry feel all the more like a balm. Feb 19, 2021 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter An involving and surprising portrait. Feb 19, 2021 Full Review Emilio Luna El antepenúltimo mohicano From Leonardo to Donatello... the script written by Elena Kiseleva and Konchalovsky dedicates its time to details that are essential to understand the resonance of this atypical biographical. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 May 19, 2022 Full Review James Tarmy Bloomberg News It is, in other words, an accurate depiction of what it takes to be a successful artist, and it's one that contemporary viewers -- inside the art world and out -- might be well served to watch carefully. Jul 23, 2021 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension Konchalovskiy lacks Tarkovsky's curiosity and willingness to embrace ambiguity. But Sin is still too grand to be ignored.

Eitan D Another amazing film by Konchalovsky. The cinematography is superb, i think almost all of the movie scenes are just visually beautiful. Next the main character is playing Michelangelo in such a way that it'd take a master to do so. Lastly is the story line- in this this movie reminds me of Amadeus- a semi historical movie about a genius and what might had happened there, as there same is here- the hero isn't stable psychologically and there's a contemporary villain. Though the stories are somewhat similar i don't take it as a negative point, just few things that are similar in 2 amazing films Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/21 Full Review Audience Member See it for the photography, see it for the history, see it for the irony, see it for the beauty, just see the damn movie. Within 15 minutes you are both startled by the reality of the historical portrayal and amused by the hilarity of circumstances as they existed. Many people make movies about history, few attempt and require so little romanticism, because it was Michelangelo, the work speaks for itself. So we are left to take in the reality in which the art was produced and and whos behest. The who being the Church and the families who controlled it. Humanity, the Holy, and everything in-between can be seen in contrast to some of the most beautiful creations of a single man. A man, anxious, filled with doubt and the debt of a life of overpromising and overdelivering. A beautiful portrayal of a beautiful man. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
