Critics Consensus

A moving celebration of art's redemptive power, Sing Sing draws its estimable emotional resonance from a never better Colman Domingo and equally impressive ensemble players.

Matt Zoller Seitz

It doesn't move or feel like any other prison movie, or movie about theater students, that I've seen, and its commitment to the truth of its characters -- and of life itself -- is rare and precious.

Rated: 4/4

TIME Magazine

Even if Sing Sing shoulders some heavy-duty ideas about forgiveness and redemption, Kwedar also recognizes the value and delight of pure play.

Wall Street Journal

The movie is both poignant and frustrating, as it occasionally threatens to smother the vibrant presence of these performers, who are its most potent force. Funny, profound and free of pretense, they make the film worthwhile.

Screen Rant

Led by a stunning Colman Domingo, Sing Sing is the perfect example of how art can heal, and how a person may not be what they seem on the surface.

Rated: 4.5/5

Sing Sing, the astonishing new film from director Greg Kwedar, breaks the mold by exploring its inmates as people with the potential to be so much more.

It understands all too well the difference between a liberated imagination and the actual physical freedom that beckons beyond the prison walls.
