Critics Consensus

A moving celebration of art's redemptive power, Sing Sing draws its estimable emotional resonance from a never better Colman Domingo and equally impressive ensemble players.

Helen O'Hara

Empire Magazine

Brimming with compassion and punctuated by humour, this is a moving look at prison and prisoners. It’s both infuriating and inspirational to see so much beauty in such a harsh environment.

Rated: 4/5

Isaac Feldberg

Little White Lies

In a story about art’s transformative potential, it’s the wondrous slow bloom of their bond that most distils Sing Sing’s poignant power.

John Paul King

Washington Blade

Intelligent, erudite, passionate, vulnerable, and capable of delivering Shakespearean verse or prison slang with equal conviction and command, [Domingo] elevates the movie while simultaneously blending seamlessly into its larger purpose.

Tom Shone

Sunday Times (UK)

The film walks across a viper-pit of potential cliché every step of the way, but Kwedar keeps his direction loose and urgent.

Incredibly uplifting and at times heart-wrenching, this true story shows the power of the arts and of human connection. It was a very moving and feel-good watch. I highly recommend!!!

I enjoyed this film. Don’t go if you want a lot of action because this is a small film based on a real life prison acting group. I appreciated the actual former prisoners reprising their role in the movie.
