I haven't seen the film, but you basically also reviewed the book in all what I thought about that, so I am glad, sounds like they got it pretty much right.
@@NickBeast-gy2es I think a nomination is possible. A win would be pretty shocking (unless it's one of those "hey, you should have won already..." awards. We shall see, though!
Sing Sing is the BEST MOVIE of the year and deserves nominations in most categories. The movie was shot on 16 mm film, in 19 days, with a very small crew. The DP, Pat Scola should be nominated for an Oscar for cinematography because the visual look, the lighting, the film choice, all created the naturalistic atmosphere to tell the story. Accompanied with Bryce Dessner's score that sells the beautiful scenes and intimate facial expressions. And kudos to the director, Greg Kwedar, who allowed dialogue to be ad-libbed at times, which created the emotional essence throughout the film that tugs at your heart. The cast deserves best ensemble because 90% of the cast are the formerly incarcerated men that participated in the RTA theater program while in Sing Sing and that authenticity shines. And what can you say about Coleman Domingo.... he deserves the Oscar this year, his performance is perfectly understated, and he allows the other men to shine because this is their story. Well Done!! Also, Clarence Maclin and Paul Raci both deserve best supporting nominations. Their performances tie the strings that pull the film to its brilliance. Best movie overall in a very long time and well worth the emotional journey.
Im enjoying seeing Barbie as having cracked open the door for films like this. Haven't read the book but Im pretty excited for a chance to see it in the cinema.
@@jacquesboyadjian9449 oh, Adams is phenomenal. She fully commits to the performance. I'm doubtful about it being a major awards player, though. Not out of the realm of possibility, still.
Looking forward to this one. I love Adams and I am still looking for a film/performance to root for this year.
@@tonyg76 It really is a unique project. Excited for more folks to see it (and hopefully take the time to understand it)
thx for this review. im rooting for amy to get her 7th nom and hopefully take the statuette home this time
@@PLOTTHICC there's a chance! She's certainly helped by her established career and the lack of a "win" so far

@@tinas_hotdog_sophie Rachel Yoder was present for the Q&A and it was quite apparent that she felt Heller did her story justice
Looks like a 7th nomination and probably 1st Oscar win for Amy Adams

LOVED this review - I felt exactly the same way except you articulated it much better than I did lol.
Thanks :)
I'm sure that you are able to articulate it quite well yourself!

Wrong movie, but yes - Sing Sing is great!
"... latch on..." Good pun!
@@rhondahanley5927 it was definitely intentional...

@@nickhtk6285 it's a great ride if you buy into it!
Loved your review
@@elblackphillip much appreciated!
I wish u wouldve talked more about amy adams performance, or if the movie is going to be a player in this year’s awards
@@jacquesboyadjian9449 oh, Adams is phenomenal. She fully commits to the performance. I'm doubtful about it being a major awards player, though. Not out of the realm of possibility, still.
So based on your watch, will this movie bring Amy Adams her overdue Oscar? Tell me yes it’s happening because that’s all I want to know 😂
I hope so!
@@Zainsings I would love to see it, but if I was a betting man, I wouldn't be putting much money on it.
Kafkaesque
@@syntheticsilkwood2206 certainly some elements!
so shaggy d a movie relax it is joke, oh heavenly dog for female audience just joking
