Ryan Kogller's new vampire musical "sinners" is manually one of the best films of 2025. She tells the story of identical twins Elijah and Elias Moore-Prekar Chad and Warehouse, both played by Michael B. The Jordandan-Ajure strives to escape the harsh and triple world of the criminal underground in Chicago in 1932. They returned to their hometown in Mississippi with a lot of money and a dream to open a successful jacket. They know musicians and potential employees, and know about the old barn - owned by a racist old white man - what they can buy. While rushing around the city, trying to get materials, each of them is re -associated with old friends and jabet lovers. Their Ukeuk wrist is a business opportunity, but also a way to re -form a scattered black community, as well as saving their reputation.

There are also vampires. Trio white people who know Irish folk music are trying to break through as the Ukeuk club is in favor. They claim that they only want to play with the talented blues musician, Sammy Inside (Miles Catton), but it is clear that they want to drink everybody's blood and used musical power of Sami. It can be seen that "sinners" at least partially refer to the white collaboration of black music; White musicians literally feed on blacks.

Two of the staff smoking and renting warehouses are Grace and Bo Jaw (Zhao and Lee Hun Lee), Chinese immigrants, who own a pair of prosperous sunscreen stores in the middle of the Mississippi Delta. Grace is engaged in painting the sign of the dance club. As is the case, the stores where the breasts sell their goods are impressive historically accurate, supervised by Koggler's cultural consultant, Dolly Lee. Indeed, the stores were designed to look true as Asian -owned stores in 1932 Mississippi, as seen in the documentary series "The untold story of the southern Chinese of America."

Dolly Lee was one of the producers of the above documentary and served as its host. Her insight was well researched and invaluable for Ryan Kogller's film. According to article in VoljadecLee and Kogler started communicating after seeing her documentary series and was hit by how personal she was. Koggler's father -in -law seems to have had Chinese ancestors on Delta and knew he should represent Chinese businesses in his film.

In the "sinners", the huts possessed two stores that stood across the street - one served in the black community, while the other, white people. This was very directly based on the real Greenville, Mississippi, shops called Min Sang and Co. Those stores, once located on Alexander Street, also opened in the 1930s, and provided the local black community about 70% of their groceries. Unfortunately, those stores seem to be closed. Lee was amazed that Kogler thought he included Chinese characters in his film, saying on Twitter:

"I know 100% that Ryan could make the owners of the white or black store and no one would use the eye. Insist them to include them - which repeated this document and history - now it's friendship."

The "sinners" also featured Josh's teenage daughter Lisa (Jelena Hu) in a small role. Lee's documentary talks with a woman named Jeanan Makas, who remembers growing in her parents' grocery store, living in the back (the Chinese people was not allowed to own property). Lisa could very well be a stand for women like Maskas-or, given her age, the mother of Maskas-which has clear memories of how it was to be a Chinese child's child, serving the black community in the south of the time of segregation.

These details make the "sinners" feel rich and live, made by people who want to catch the black and Chinese experiences of the 1930s Mississippi. Well done, all.
