Shamefully late to SINNERS because I missed it in cinemas and wanted to watch it as big as I could and… Oh my god. It rocks every bit as much as everyone said and some more. I hadn’t been as exhilarated by a sequence as that “I Lied to You” time-travelling number in a long, long time. Terrific.

It's a sign of how stupid and behind the UK film scene is that Sarah Friedland's Familiar Touch - a 2024 Venice prize winner that's played festivals all over in the year since - doesn't have UK distribution. Someone pick it up!!!
