What the success of "Sinners" does (and doesn't) say about race and Hollywood
Angelica Jade Bastién, NY Mag film critic, and Aisha Harris, NPR pop culture commentator, break down Sinners' hype and limits. They debate its juke joint scene, Coogler’s maximalism versus subtlety, religion and the Black Southern reckoning. They also question whether awards will reshape Hollywood or simply reward spectacle.
