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.

Colman Domingo is at the peak of his considerable powers in Greg Kwedar’s inspirational, fact-based prison drama Sing Sing.

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

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.

CinemaDebate

Has as a case for best film of the year. It’s poignant and human. Colman Domingo delivers a career-best performance, but the stunning ensemble acting by the cast of formally incarcerated men, led by Clarence Maclin, truly makes the film transformative.

Rated: 5/5

“Show, don’t tell,” a good director will tell you, and one of the easiest ways to show the power of the theater is to experience it yourself—or to watch someone else experience it.
