Divine G, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn't commit, finds purpose by acting in a theater group alongside other incarcerated men in this story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art.. At the beginning of the movie the cast are trying out for various parts in the play. These are actual audition tapes used to cast the movie.. The group is criticized for not doing comedy yet their previous play was A Midsummer Night’s Dream which is a comedy.. Featured in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Anna Faris/ Colman Domingo/Jose Medeles (2024). Blades composed by Bryce Dessner. Saw this movie as one of those Mystery movies where you don’t know what you are seeing until you get there. I enjoyed this movie even tho this wouldn’t have been a movie I would have watched in the theater. I had a couple tear jerking moments and realizing half the cast was the actual prison theater crew is impressive. I was almost going to walk out when I found out it was Sing Sing but the movie grabbed my attention and kept me in my seat until the end. Again the cast was most of the prisoners that was part of the theater group and they actually did a really good job considering their only experience they had was in Prison.
