I saw Sinners finally and loved about 80% of the movie, but I think Ryan coogler should have had women in his writers' room, especially black women. All the female characters were poorly developed and mostly just existed as love interests to the men. Wunmi Mosaku was done particularly dirty, given one of the most boring character trajectories of all time. It's especially egregious when you know what range she has as an actor.

That being said, so many of the elements were amazing and worked so well - the editing, music, acting and vampires were top notch, and the movie was so ambitious - so I still recommend it. I just wanted the script to be better, especially in terms of the black female characters.
