Really loved Sinners

I'm hype to check it out. I've already got my seats reserved for later.

What’s the view on Woman in the Yard? Looks like another one and done.

Definitely a one-off based on the story. Since this year has been loaded with horror-comedies, it's a good break into more serious and dark stuff. But I'm still waiting for a horror movie to drop that really pops for me this year.

The ending was edited choppy to me. I see they wanted the ambiguous ending, but how it was edited it didn’t work imo.

That was my main issue too. They muddled the ending with such a serious allegory that it made me feel weird about it. The performances were good as hell; the psychological horror worked imo; the shadow stuff coulda been better worked for a lot of the audience I was surrounded by. But it's mainly just that last bit of the movie that took it down a notch for me.

I agree, they could had simply just have us hear the gun shot and then a flash edit, then tact on the remaining ending. At least then that could had sparked a better debate.

Oh also the ending for women in the yard, the backward R, basically made sense why the little girl kept writing the backward R because that was part of Ramona’s signature for her paintings. So the painting could had been done before events of the movie. And that confirms the woman was just a manifest of her mind. Yeah they could had made that ending more polish.

I've been meaning to go back to that scene to see if it's just the R backwards or if it's the entire word.

I really like the idea of the MC picking herself up, incorporating the daughter's R into her paintings, and everyone getting a happy ending.

Instead, it kinda read to me like depression won, and it makes me kinda uncomfortable with the MC going to a happy place. That leans a little too much into self-harm, helping her find peace for my taste.

My favorite scene is when her depression shows her that the kids' lives would be better without her, because I like it as a realistic display of how people's suicidal ideations can lie to them. But it's only my favorite scene if she eventually overcomes the depression and realizes that her kids need her. I didn't think the ending gave us enough to assume that, and that makes me hella frustrated!

I 100% agree. We had to basically piece what the writer or director was trying to accomplish the whole movie. But not in a "this is genius way" more of a "i see what story you was trying to tell, but it aint come out solid" way lol

Exactly! "I think I know what you meant" type of ambiguity .

The most frustrating part is the characters were written really well imo. I'm praying for a director's cut or something.

 

[storyteller]

I'm cutting myself from watching any other trailers or teasers for this one. I'm already a Day One.

Disrespectful to Marlon and the Wayans family not to mention him in that tweet. Especially since he is playing a large part in the movie

Hope it's successful. Looks like a good movie.
