Release Date: Thursday 10 April 2025
Based on a remarkable true story. Academy Award nominee Colman Domingo stars as Divine G, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn't commit, who finds purpose by acting in a theatre group with other incarcerated men. When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy, in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.
5 stars "I loved it… a funny, insightful, sensationally acted account of art's capacity to dissolve walls, and heighten, broaden and deepen the reach of our lives."
- Robbie Collins, The Telegraph
"One of the best and most powerful movies you'll see this year… it has a heart full to bursting and a spirit that soars."
- Peter Travers, ABC News
4 stars "When we think of the best prison movies ever made, The Shawshank Redemption immediately comes to mind… We can now add the gloriously lionhearted and brilliantly rendered Sing Sing to that list."
- Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
