‘Sinners’ reviews: Ryan Coogler’s ‘best movie so far’ wins raves from critics

Ryan Coogler has another winner on his hands with Sinners.
Critics have embraced the new Warner Bros. supernatural thriller as the Black Panther filmmaker’s “best movie so far.”
That’s high praise for the director, who broke up with the Sundance movie Fruitvale Station before mining studio intellectual property so successfully with 2015’s Creed and the two Black Panther films for Marvel and Disney.
Sinners is his first original project, a 1930s-set creature feature about twin brothers who encounter blood-thirsty vampires on the same night they open their first juke joint. Coogler, a two-time Oscar nominee, enlisted several of his usual collaborators for the movie, including costume designer Ruth E. Carter (a two-time Oscar winner for the Black Panther movies) and composer Ludwig Goransson (an Oscar winner for Black Panther and Oppenheimer).
On Rotten Tomatoes, Sinners has a 98 percent fresh rating; at Metacritic, it...
