Film Review - Sing Sing

SING SING 1

“Sing Sing” takes viewers into the prison experience, but it’s not the usual offering of hard men playing games of respect and violence while behind bars. There’s a more sensitive story to be found here concerning the Rehabilitation Through the Arts organization, which offers inmates a chance to explore different sides of themselves through the stage, participating in the creation and performance of plays. Co-writer/director Greg Kwedar (who co-scripted “Jockey”) examines this odyssey of the mind and body with care for the characters, moving away from cliché to understand the people beyond the crimes, especially when placed in a situation where emotional intimacy is encouraged from participants who’ve lived most of their lives in a state of fear. “Sing Sing” takes chances with acting and tone, and it mostly hits the mark, with Kwedar (and co-writer Clint Bentley) using a real world organization, giving it dramatic highs and lows, sending viewers on a journey of profound feelings.
