Sing Sing: Best Picture Frontrunner

I saw Sing Sing at AMC Burbank yesterday and walked out feeling this is the lock to win the Best Picture Oscar.

Film is an R-rated drama about men in prison who are part of a program to study drama and perform theatre for the rest of the prison population. It’s a true story, and most of the actors in the film are playing a fictionalized version of themselves.

Despite the harsh reality, the film is lovely, uplifting and even joyful. The film is sad, tense, but never overly dark. It has something beautiful to say about the power of art to bring out our humanity.

Run, don’t walk to this film. Probably the best new film you’ll see all year.
