SINNERS stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as twin brothers Elijah and Elias Moore, who return to their hometown in 1930s Mississippi with hopes of starting over, only to confront a haunting supernatural evil rooted in the land, their bloodline, and their past. Directed by Ryan Coogler from his first original screenplay, Sinners blends period drama, vampire horror, musical set pieces, and explosive action into one of the most ambitious studio films in recent memory. Shot on IMAX film by Autumn Durald Arkapaw and featuring a stunning original score by Ludwig Göransson, the film features a breakout supporting performance from Miles Caton and a showstopping juke joint sequence already being called the best scene of the year. The cast includes Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo. Sinners premiered on April 3, 2025, and was released theatrically by Warner Bros. Pictures on April 18. It has grossed over $70 million worldwide and is the highest-grossing original film since Us (2019). 🎬 Sinners Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYb8Wp9ooY0 🌐 More Reviews and Features: https://www.pointsofreviews.com 🎥 Top Films of 2025: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf_2WXl6JaWabfNG2aVDARxKZL0bFSQ4c 🔔 Subscribe to Points of Review: https://www.youtube.com/@PointsofReview?sub_confirmation=1
SINNERS Film Review (The Music, Stories, and Cinematography)
ASH stars Eiza González as Riya, an astronaut who wakes up alone on a distant planet, discovering her space station crew has been mysteriously killed. Haunted by fragmented memories and nightmarish visions, Riya struggles to piece together what happened, unsure if she can trust Brion (Aaron Paul), the rescuer responding to her station's distress signal. ASH is directed by Flying Lotus from a screenplay by Jonni Remmler, blending science fiction, horror, and thriller elements into a film that, unfortunately, emphasizes style over substance. The cast includes Eiza González, Aaron Paul, Iko Uwais, Kate Elliott, Beulah Koale, and Flying Lotus himself. ASH was released in theatres on March 21, 2025, and will be available to stream on Shudder later this year.

ASH Film Review: Sci-Fi Style Over Substance
TOGETHER stars Dave Franco and Alison Brie as a couple struggling to adjust to their new lives after moving to the countryside. With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love, and their flesh. Together made its debut at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and instantly became one of the most talked-about titles, igniting a bidding war that ended with Neon obtaining the distribution rights for an impressive $17 million – one of the biggest Sundance deals on record. With A24 also vying for the film, it’s clear that anticipation for its theatrical run is high, especially as it’s scheduled for release on August 1st, 2025. Together Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb9tln--Ajs Director: Michael Shanks Producers: Alison Brie, Dave Franco, Mike Cowap, Andrew Mittman, Erik Feig, Max Silva Screenwriter: Michael Shanks Principal Cast: Dave Franco, Alison Brie, Damon Herriman 🌐 Written Review of Together: https://pointsofreviews.com/together-film-review-dave-franco-allison-brie/ 🎥 Top Films of 2025: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf_2WXl6JaWabfNG2aVDARxKZL0bFSQ4c 🔔 Subscribe to Points of Review: https://www.youtube.com/@PointsofReview?sub_confirmation=1 #together #moviereview #alisonbrie
TOGETHER Film Review (Starring Dave Franco & Alison Brie)
O'DESSA is a post-apocalyptic rock opera written and directed by Geremy Jasper. It follows O’Dessa (Sadie Sink, of “Stranger Things” fame), a young farm girl navigating a perilous future wasteland on a mission to reclaim her father’s guitar. Her quest leads her to Satylyte City, a neon-filled metropolis where she encounters her true love, Euri Dervish (Kelvin Harrison Jr.). To save Euri, O’Dessa has to use the power of music and face the ultimate test of destiny On the surface, O'DESSA feels cheesy and full of familiar tropes. However, there is a very real message on the entertainment industry, the plight of the independent musician, and our societal fixation on superficial beauty. 🌐 Written Review of O'Dessa: https://pointsofreviews.com/odessa-film-review-sadie-sink/ 🎥 Top Films of 2025: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf_2WXl6JaWabfNG2aVDARxKZL0bFSQ4c 🔔 Subscribe to Points of Review: https://www.youtube.com/@PointsofReview?sub_confirmation=1 Director: Geremy Jasper Cast: Sadie Sink, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Murray Bartlett, Regina Hall, Pokey LaFarge Music: Geremy Jasper & Jason Binnick O'Dessa had its world premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival on March 8th. O'Dessa is being distributed by Searchlight Pictures and Hulu. It will be available to watch on Hulu on March 20th, 2025. #odessa #sadiesink #moviereview
