Sing Sing, soothe your soul

I can’t promise you’re going to leave this film feeling that goody goody fuzzy wuzzy feeling. Maybe a tiny bit. What you’ll leave the theatre with is relief.

In Colman Domingo’s hands, you are always safe. However, in an incredibly rare turn of events, it’s the actors around Colman that steal the movie from him. I never thought I’d live to see the day.

Sing Sing, for those not initiated yet, is a film centering on the amazing work of Rehabilitation through the Arts, who facilitate Theatre productions amongst maximum security prisoners in the USA. Many of the cast-members of the film are actually members of RTA, and the few professionals sprinkled in there (Colman, Paul Raci) blend in so seamlessly.

I’m hoping for some academy awards for this, especially for the performance of Sean "Dino" Johnson, who truly stole every scene, and deserves, at the very least, a supporting actor nomination.

Also. It’s Colman’s time. Give him the damn Best Actor Oscar. Ffs. It’s time. Be real. Cut the shit fr. As the fuck IF. WHO ELSE? NO ONE!!!!!!!!! #manifesting
