"I still can't get over Sinners. It's what the cinema was made for. It looked amazing; its sound was so rich and textured; and the juke joint dance sequence was a genuine WTF surprise that could have been grim but was utter genius. And if you haven't seen it, please stay for the scene that comes mid-credits: it has to be my favourite five minutes of film all year."
"Michael, Manchester Pillion blew me away no pun intended. I'd expected it to be sexy and subversive but it's a much bigger film than that. We saw it in a pretty full cinema and it felt like all of us were realising that fact together the first laughs sounded surprised, mine included but as the film revealed itself, it was clear we were all firmly on side."
"The premise lyricist Lorenz Hart trying to come to terms with the end of his professional partnership with composer on the opening night of Rodgers's and Oscar Hammerstein's first smash hit musical Oklahoma is inspired. The script is sharp and witty and the acting superb, especially from Ethan Hawke as Hart, Andrew Scott as Rodgers and Margaret Qualley as Gary's would-be love interest Elizabeth Weiland."
Sinners combines striking visuals and richly textured sound to elevate a juke-joint dance sequence into an unexpectedly brilliant moment and includes a notable mid-credits scene. Audience reactions shifted from surprised laughter to united enthusiasm, with viewers describing the film as larger and more affecting than anticipated. Blue Moon follows lyricist Lorenz Hart confronting the end of his partnership on the opening night of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma. The screenplay is praised as sharp and witty, and performances by Ethan Hawke, Andrew Scott and Margaret Qualley receive particular acclaim, with awards recognition anticipated.
