Sing Sing

"Indisputably great."

"Underpinned by a robust, punchy wit – imagine The Shawshank Redemption directed by Mike Leigh."

"A polished, affecting film."

"Funny, profound and free of pretense, they (the formerly incarcerated cast members) make the film worthwhile."

"This is an uplifting, energetic film – but Domingo’s showy performance is a little out of place."

"Even if Sing Sing shoulders some heavy-duty ideas... Kwedar also recognises the value and delight of pure play."

"A tenderhearted, heavy-handed dramedy."

"An air of performative engagement can’t help but cling to the fabric of Sing Sing."

"Newcomer Clarence Maclin stakes his claim as a powerhouse actor."

"Its commitment to the truth of its characters -- and of life itself -- is rare and precious."

"Brimming with compassion and punctuated by humour, this is a moving look at prison and prisoners."

"Domingo and Maclin deliver powerhouse performances."

"An aria of pain and hope."

"Domingo gives a career-best performance in Greg Kwedar’s gentle — and beautiful — film."

"Colman Domingo soars beyond walls real and metaphorical in (this) fantastic prison drama."

"Domingo thankfully smoothes over any narrative cracks with a huge and generous performance."
