Sinners is absolutely my favorite movie that came out in 2025, and part of that was absolutely how realistic, grungy, and down to earth it felt. A lot of modern movies suffer from making everything too smooth and too realistic. Sinners felt like such a well-shot, intentional movie, that it eliminated any of that. All the prosthetics that went on O’Connell as Remmick are so cool and so clearly thought out! The logistics of the prosthetics sound like such a logistical challenge, but it ended up working out so well on screen. I haven’t seen all the Oscar nominations for best picture, but I have seen a few, and this one clears over all of them. CGI still hasn’t caught up to where we want it to be, but prosthetics and practical effects look so lifelike now. The fact that Sinners was almost entirely practical is so outstanding to me and really shows how much the people working on it cared.
