There’s always a list around Hollywood of directors who can get movies made on their name alone. Think of that Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, and Jordan Peele tier of brand-name director. With Sinners, I think it’s safe to say Ryan Coogler is adding his name to that list.

The writer and director burst onto the scene in 2013 with his Sundance winner Fruitvale Station, then went mainstream with his 2015 Rocky franchise reinvention Creed. He followed that up with Black Panther, which grossed more than $1.3 billion worldwide.

But it’s Sinners, the first wholly original film on Coogler’s resume, that cements his place among the leading directors working today. The film, his fifth collaboration with Michael B. Jordan, follows the story of Smoke and Stack, twins in the 1930s Mississippi Delta, dead-set on opening a juke joint in one night. What follows is an R-rated supernatural musical horror drama that has entranced audiences and racked up more than $120 million in the US by the end of its second weekend.

Chalk full of awesome performances, a stunning score from Lugwig Goransson, incredible guitar solos from Miles KATE-uhn and Buddy Guy, and Ryan Coogler’s creative stamp all over it, Sinners is both a creative masterpiece and a genuine theatrical sensation at a time when those are rarer than ever. ***And like with a Nolan movie, Coogler has inspired the obsessives to seek out his movie in its 70mm IMAX glory. The bigger and louder you see Sinners, the better. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll probably want to head back a second time to see it all again.
