There are so many great things about Ryan Coogler’s Sinners that you can briefly forget just how deeply layered the cinematic experience is. It starts off as an exciting crime story before events spiral out of control and it becomes a horror tale, but there’s also the incredible music, and, of course, the romance. The latter is an aspect of the film that may not get as much attention as the others, but it’s something that star Hailee Steinfeld certainly appreciates and recently highlighted in an interview.
Variety gathered Steinfeld and co-stars Wunmi Mosaku and Li Jun Li for a recent roundtable discussion of Sinners (which is now available to stream with a HBO Max subscription), and within the conversation, the True Grit actress commented on the relationship between Mary and Michael B. Jordan’s Stack – a big taboo during the period in which the movie is set. The fact that both characters are ultimately transformed into vampires means that their love and connection becomes eternal, however, and Steinfeld loves that she can see their eternity together in the subtleties of their bond. Said the actress,
its outrageously successful box office run during the spring, Sinners has now made its full transition to the home video market. As noted earlier, the blockbuster is now available to stream, but you can also purchase/rent it digitally from online retailers, and physical media collectors can buy it on 4K UHD/Blu-ray (today happens to be the official release date).
