It shouldn't.

Like, there's so much going on.

And while it was happening, I was saying to myself, this shouldn't work.

But it is.

Like, it's remarkable.

It is so good.

I felt like that feeling you get when you're watching a movie in the theater and, like, you know that you are absorbed in this, like—

Like, this is art.

It sounds corny, but, like, you are just there and present and with this movie.

And Sinners, like, creates that magical feeling of cinema.

I haven't had something do that for me in a couple of years.

Oh, I think there's just this incredible risk adversity.

Yes.

Right.

Like it used to be that you would take a risk on 10 films and one of those films would be a breakout hit.

And now because the middle has been completely cut out of the box office.

And stars are not functioning as like the IP the way that they used to.

Like a bunch of big star movies that were just released over the course of the last month, month and a half did nothing at the box office.

So the rules are broken.

No one knows what they're doing.
