One of my favorite details in Sinners was the brothers trying to talk Sammie out of Chicago, but then he goes and becomes Buddy Guy. They weren't wrong, but neither was he for not listening to them. Complexity! We need more of it in our movies!

My grandma was part of the great migration. She moved from rural Tennessee to Chicago at the start of WWII. It made me feel more connected to the film, which I loved.
