Movie review: In this deeply empathetic depiction, “Sing Sing” is a powerful argument for humanity within a space designed to dehumanize.
A film like “Sing Sing” is a rare, precious thing. An artifact crafted with the utmost care, this is a cinematic work of unique empathy, a slice of hand-turned humanity, hewn from the heart, with rigorous attention paid to the process itself.
The plot follows the production of RTA’s first original play, a sprawling time-travel comedy that moves from ancient Egypt to gladiator arenas to the Old West, with a visit from Freddy Krueger too . But the film is about so much more than just these men putting on a show. It’s about the hope and heartbreak within these walls; the personal growth and triumph that these men experience together onstage. It’s a stark reminder that life in prison is still life, in prison.
Kwedar and Bentley’s screenplay is deft and subtle, personal backstories emerging organically in conversation. They also make the powerful choice to skirt melodrama and avoid the kind of violence one might expect from a “prison movie.” There is loss, grief and disappointment, but this is not a sensationalized portrait of prison life.
