Hollywood actor and filmmaker Kevin Costner has been hit with a lawsuit over alleged unpaid costume rental fees connected to his upcoming Western film, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2.
According to court filings, a long established costume supplier has accused Costner and the production companies behind the film of failing to settle outstanding payments for costumes used during filming.
The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court by Western Costume Leasing Company, a well known Hollywood costume house. The company claims it supplied costumes for Horizon: Chapter 2 under a rental agreement but was never fully paid.
Court documents state that the production allegedly owes over $134,000 in unpaid costume rental fees. However, the total amount being sought in the lawsuit exceeds $400,000, factoring in damages, legal fees, interest, and other related costs via People
The costume company reportedly maintains that the costumes were delivered, used on set, and accepted without dispute.

Another Setback for the Horizon Franchise
The legal action adds to the growing challenges surrounding Costner’s ambitious Horizon film series. The project, planned as a multi-part Western saga, has faced financial pressure and scheduling delays, especially after Chapter 1 struggled at the box office.
As a result, the theatrical release of Horizon: Chapter 2 was postponed, raising concerns about the future rollout of the remaining installments.
Costner has previously revealed that he invested millions of dollars of his own money into the project, making the film deeply personal as well as financially risky.
As of the time of this report, Kevin Costner and his representatives have not issued an official statement regarding the lawsuit. It is also unclear whether the dispute will be settled out of court or proceed to trial.
Despite the legal setback, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 has already been screened at select film festivals and is still expected to reach audiences once distribution plans are finalized.
James Cameron’s Avatar franchise has once again proven its box office power.
The third installment, Avatar: Fire and Ash, has debuted with a massive $345 million global opening weekend, officially becoming the second-biggest opening of 2025 so far.
A Strong Global Start
According to early box office reports, Avatar: Fire and Ash earned approximately $88 million from North America, while international markets contributed about $257 million, highlighting the franchise’s continued global appeal .
International territories once again played a major role in driving the film’s opening numbers, especially in key markets where the Avatar brand has historically performed well.
Second Biggest Opening of 2025
With its $345 million debut, Fire and Ash now ranks as the second-largest global opening of 2025, trailing only Zootopia 2, which currently holds the top spot for the year .
The achievement places Avatar: Fire and Ash ahead of several high-profile releases this year, confirming audience anticipation for the next chapter in Cameron’s sci-fi saga.
How It Compares to Previous Avatar Films
While the opening weekend is slightly below Avatar: The Way of Water, which launched with over $441 million globally in 2022, industry analysts note that the current performance still represents a very strong start, particularly given changing cinema attendance trends worldwide .
Box office observers expect the film to show strong legs in the coming weeks, especially in international markets where Avatar films traditionally enjoy extended theatrical runs.
The impressive debut of Avatar: Fire and Ash strengthens confidence in the future of the franchise, with additional sequels already planned.
Popular Nigerian filmmaker and actress Funke Akindele has officially announced the return of her hit YouTube series, Aiyetoro Town, with Season 2 set to premiere soon.
The confirmation came via a post shared on her verified X (formerly Twitter) account, where she revealed that the series will be returning “back and better” on the FAANtv YouTube channel.
Funke Akindele Announces the Return ofAiyetoro Town
In her post, Funke Akindele wrote:
“Coming soon, back and better! Aiyetoro Town (The Series) will be back shortly on the FAANtv YouTube channel and yes, we’re coming back bigger, better, and full of premium drama.”
The announcement was accompanied by an official poster boldly stating “Aiyetoro Town 2: The Series – Will Be Back!”, confirming that the new season is already in motion.
Where to Watch Aiyetoro Town
According to the announcement, Aiyetoro Town Season 2 will stream exclusively on FAANtv’s YouTube channel. Fans who may have missed earlier episodes can also catch up on previous episodes available on the channel.
The return of Aiyetoro Town adds to Funke Akindele’s growing list of successful projects across film, television, and digital platforms. In recent years, she has consistently delivered record-breaking cinema releases and highly streamed series, further cementing her status as one of Nollywood’s most influential creatives.
Every year, hundreds of films are released across cinemas and streaming platforms. Some become cultural moments. Others quietly disappear. And then there are the few that attract overwhelming criticism from professional reviewers.
In 2025, Metacritic, one of the most respected review aggregation platforms in the entertainment industry published its list of the worst-reviewed movies of the year, based purely on critics’ scores. The result was a diverse but deeply underwhelming collection of films that failed to impress across genres, budgets, and expectations.
This article breaks down the 13 worst movies of 2025, explains why they landed at the bottom, and explores the common mistakes that defined many of these releases.
What Is Metacritic and How Does the Metascore Work?
Before diving into the list, it’s important to understand how Metacritic evaluates films.
Metacritic is a review aggregation website that collects professional critic reviews from trusted publications and outlets around the world. Instead of showing only star ratings or opinions, Metacritic converts each review into a numeric score between 0 and 100.
These scores are then weighted based on the credibility and influence of the publication, producing a final average known as the Metascore.
How Metascore Ratings Are Interpreted:
81–100: Universal acclaim
61–80: Generally favorable reviews
40–60: Mixed or average reviews
20–39: Generally unfavorable reviews
0–19: Overwhelming dislike
The films on this list fall almost entirely in the bottom two categories, meaning critics largely agreed that these movies failed in storytelling, execution, or creative vision.
The 13 Worst Movies of 2025 (By Metascore)
War of the Worlds
This sci-fi adaptation finished 2025 as the lowest-rated movie of the year on Metacritic. Critics widely criticized its poor visual effects, lack of emotional weight, and unimaginative approach to a well-known story. Despite its ambitious premise, the film struggled to justify its existence.
Playdate
What was marketed as a lighthearted action-comedy ended up being one of the year’s biggest critical disappointments. Reviewers pointed to weak jokes, uneven pacing, and a storyline that never fully came together.
Gunslingers
This Western drama was expected to bring grit and style but instead delivered flat dialogue and an overly familiar plot. Critics felt the film relied too heavily on genre clichés without adding anything fresh or memorable.
Alarum
Despite its action-heavy trailer and strong cast, Alarum failed to impress critics. Reviews described it as noisy but empty, with confusing storytelling and little emotional payoff.
Bride Hard
A comedy that aimed to mix wedding chaos with action tropes, Bride Hard was widely criticized for being unfunny and predictable. Many reviewers noted that the film struggled to balance its tone, resulting in awkward humor and weak character development.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2
Following the commercial success of the first film, this sequel received harsher critical treatment. While fans of the franchise found moments to enjoy, critics pointed out repetitive scares, thin plotting, and a lack of originality.
Shadow Force
This action thriller failed to leave a lasting impression. Critics cited bland performances, predictable action sequences, and a script that felt unfinished.
The Strangers: Chapter 2
Horror sequels are notoriously difficult to get right, and this one struggled to justify its continuation. Reviews described the film as repetitive, lacking tension, and overly dependent on familiar scare tactics.
Hurry Up Tomorrow
One of the more divisive films on the list, Hurry Up Tomorrow was criticized for being unfocused and self-indulgent. While it attempted to explore deeper themes, critics felt the execution was confusing rather than thoughtful.
The Electric State
One of the most surprising entries on the list, The Electric State arrived with a massive budget and major star power. Critics, however, were unimpressed, describing the film as visually ambitious but emotionally hollow, with a story that never fully connected.
Juliet & Romeo
This modern musical reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s classic love story struggled to find its audience. Critics felt the film lacked emotional depth and failed to make its creative risks worthwhile.
Smurfs
Intended as a family-friendly reboot, Smurfs failed to charm critics. Reviews highlighted predictable jokes, thin storytelling, and a lack of the warmth that once made the franchise appealing.
Regretting You
Adapted from a popular novel, this emotional drama was criticized for shallow character work and an overly melodramatic approach that failed to translate well to the screen.
Some of these titles may still find cult followings, strong streaming numbers, or fan appreciation despite critical backlash.However, the list serves as a reminder that strong ideas still need careful execution, and big budgets or famous names cannot replace compelling storytelling.
Nollywood actress and producer Ini Edo recently released a new movie titled A Very Dirty Christmas. The film, which premiered in cinemas nationwide on December 16, 2025, immediately attracted widespread attention; not only for its story but for its provocative title.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) condemned the title, describing it as offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith. CAN argued that linking the sacred celebration of Christmas with the word “dirty” diminishes its spiritual significance and could mislead or offend viewers.
CAN’s Strong Criticism
In an official statement, CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh said:
“The Christian Association of Nigeria is deeply troubled by the title of the movie: ‘A Very Dirty Christmas’, which it considers offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith. Christmas is a sacred season that marks the birth of Jesus Christ and represents purity, peace, love and redemption. Linking such a holy celebration with the word ‘dirty’ diminishes its spiritual meaning and reduces a solemn religious observance to something crude and sensational.”
CAN also called for a public apology from the film’s producers and urged the Nigerian film industry to handle religious themes with sensitivity. The body emphasized that creative freedom must be exercised responsibly in Nigeria’s multi-religious society.
Federal Government / NFVCB Response
The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB), the government agency responsible for approving and classifying movies has clarified its position.
Director-General Dr. Shaibu Husseini stated:
“The film was approved and classified after undergoing the established censorship and classification process, during which the Film Censorship Committee examined the work within its narrative and thematic context. The approval of the title was not intended to disparage or trivialise the Christian faith or the significance of Christmas. The title was considered part of fictional and creative expression.”
Dr. Husseini also addressed public concerns:
“We have heard the concerns raised by CAN, and in light of this, NFVCB has formally engaged the producers of the film and requested a modification of the title. Our aim is to respect religious sensitivities while supporting creative expression.”
Ini Edo Defends her Film
Speaking publicly, Ini Edo defended the film and its title, explaining that it is metaphorical and meant to reflect human struggles beneath festive appearances.
She stated:
“Art, at its highest form, is meant to provoke thought, spark conversation, and reflect the complexities of human experience. It is in this spirit that A Very Dirty Christmas was created.”
She added:
“At no time was there any intention to demean, ridicule, or dishonour Christianity, the Christmas season, or the values held dear by millions of Nigerians. All legal and regulatory requirements governing motion pictures in Nigeria were fully complied with, including securing the appropriate approval from the NFVCB.”
The controversy has sparked heated discussions on social media. Supporters defend the film as a work of art and metaphorical storytelling, while critics maintain that the title is offensive to Christians.
Industry watchers note that this is not the first time Nollywood films have faced religious criticism, and the ongoing debate highlights the need for balance between creative freedom and cultural/religious sensitivity.
While A Very Dirty Christmas continues to play in cinemas, the controversy remains unresolved. The NFVCB has not banned the film but has requested the producers consider a title modification to reduce potential offense. Ini Edo maintains that the film reflects artistic expression and human realities, not an attack on Christianity.
Christmas is widely known as a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. But for many viewers, the most meaningful films are not only those that focus on the manger in Bethlehem, but those that explore the full life and purpose of Jesus on earth; His teachings, miracles, compassion, and sacrifice.
Over the years, many movies have attempted to tell this story. Some focus only on the Nativity. Others concentrate entirely on the final days leading to the crucifixion. Very few manage to present a balanced and complete picture of Jesus’ earthly ministry in a way that feels respectful, engaging, and accessible to modern audiences.
This article brings together the best and most definitive movies and series about Jesus, selected for their accuracy, storytelling strength, and ability to show why His life still matters today. These are the films that go beyond Christmas tradition and help viewers understand the full story behind the season.
Why It’s Difficult to Tell the Full Story of Jesus on Screen
Telling the story of Jesus in a single film is not easy.
His life includes major events; His birth, baptism, teachings, miracles, conflicts with religious leaders, crucifixion, and resurrection. Compressing all of this into two or three hours often leads filmmakers to skip important moments or focus heavily on one part of the story at the expense of others.
This is why many Jesus films lean toward either:
The Nativity, because of its strong Christmas appeal, or
The crucifixion, because of its emotional weight
Only a few productions take the time needed to show the full journey. These are usually longer films or multi-part series, and they tend to leave a deeper impact on viewers.
The list below focuses on those rare projects that succeed in telling the whole story, making them especially meaningful to watch during Christmas.
1. Jesus of Nazareth (1977)
Jesus of Nazareth is widely regarded as the most complete and respected screen portrayal of Jesus Christ.
Directed by Franco Zeffirelli, this epic production follows Jesus from His birth in Bethlehem through His teachings, miracles, crucifixion, and resurrection. Its extended runtime allows the story to unfold carefully, without rushing key moments from the Gospels.
Robert Powell’s portrayal of Jesus is calm, restrained, and deeply reflective. Rather than relying on dramatic excess, the performance emphasizes compassion, authority, and quiet strength, qualities many viewers associate with Jesus.
What truly sets this film apart is its balance. It gives equal weight to:
The Nativity
Jesus’ public ministry
His relationships with disciples
His final sacrifice
The story begins with the events surrounding Jesus’ birth, making it a natural choice for Christmas viewing. From there, it guides viewers through the full meaning of why that birth mattered.
2. The Chosen (2019 – Still running)
The Chosen has reshaped how modern audiences engage with the story of Jesus.
Instead of focusing only on Jesus Himself, the series places strong attention on the people around Him; His disciples, followers, and those whose lives were changed by His presence. This approach makes His ministry feel personal and relatable, without losing its spiritual depth.
The series explores Jesus’ teachings and miracles gradually, allowing characters to grow and struggle in realistic ways. This slower pace gives viewers time to reflect on each moment rather than rushing through the story.
Production quality, performances, and writing have all contributed to its global popularity. It has become one of the most watched faith-based series in recent history.
The Chosen includes dedicated Christmas episodes that focus on Jesus’ birth, making it easy for viewers to start the story during the season and continue through His ministry afterward.
3. The Miracle Maker (1999)
The Miracle Maker offers one of the most emotionally engaging portrayals of Jesus’ ministry, presented through animation.
The film combines stop motion and traditional animation to tell the story of Jesus from childhood through His public ministry. Much of the story is seen through the eyes of a young girl, which brings a sense of innocence and curiosity to the narrative.
Despite its animation style, the film does not avoid serious themes. It handles Jesus’ teachings, miracles, and eventual death with sensitivity and depth, making it suitable for both children and adults.
The film connects the humility of Jesus’ birth with the compassion and sacrifice that defined His ministry, helping viewers understand the meaning behind the celebration.
4. The Visual Bible: Matthew (1993)
For viewers who value strict biblical accuracy, The Visual Bible: Matthew stands out.
This film presents the Gospel of Matthew word for word, with every line of dialogue taken directly from Scripture. There are no added scenes, no creative dialogue, and no reinterpretations.
Because of this approach, the film feels less like a traditional drama and more like a visual reading of the Gospel. It covers Jesus’ birth, teachings, miracles, and final days with clarity and faithfulness.
It allows viewers to experience the story of Jesus exactly as written in the Bible, starting from the events surrounding His birth.
5. Son of God (2014)
Son of God is a modern cinematic retelling of Jesus’ life, adapted from the television series The Bible.
The film focuses strongly on Jesus’ public ministry; His miracles, parables, and relationship with His disciples; while maintaining a clear and accessible narrative structure. This makes it a good option for viewers who may be new to biblical films.
Its pacing and visuals help connect Jesus’ teachings to modern audiences without going too far from the source material.
The film links Jesus’ birth to the purpose of His ministry, helping viewers reflect on why His arrival is still celebrated today.
6. The Nativity Story (2006)
Although The Nativity Story does not cover Jesus’ entire ministry, it remains one of the most important films to watch during Christmas.
Unlike many Nativity films, it gives proper attention to Mary and Joseph; their fears, faith, and obedience. The story is grounded and human, focusing on the reality of the journey that led to Jesus’ birth.
Understanding Jesus’ ministry begins with understanding His birth. This film provides the foundation upon which the rest of His life is built.
Which Jesus Movie Should You Start With?
Choosing the right film depends on what you’re looking for:
For a complete life story: Jesus of Nazareth
For a modern, relatable series: The Chosen
For families and younger viewers: The Miracle Maker
For strict biblical accuracy: The Visual Bible: Matthew
For a focused Christmas watch: The Nativity Story
Each offers a different entry point into the story of Jesus.
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
This movie was not included in the list because even as a very powerful depiction of Jesus, it focuses almost entirely on the final hours of Jesus’ life. It does not explore His birth, teachings, or public ministry.
For viewers seeking a full picture of Jesus’ earthly journey, it does not provide the balance needed for Christmas viewing.
Christmas is not only about remembering where Jesus was born, but understanding why He came.
These films help tell that full story; from the quiet moment in Bethlehem to the ministry that shaped history. Whether watched alone or with family, they offer a deeper way to reflect on the season and its meaning.
For anyone looking to go beyond tradition and truly engage with the story of Jesus, these are the best movies about Jesus and His earthly ministry to watch this Christmas.
Netflix has publicly stated that Warner Bros. movies will continue to be released in theaters, even as discussions and reports around a potential Netflix/Warner Bros. Discovery deal continue to dominate Hollywood conversations.
The announcement has sparked industry-wide debate, not because Netflix supports theatrical releases but because of how it plans to approach them, and what that approach could mean for the long-term future of Warner Bros. films.
Netflix’s Commitment to Theatrical Releases
Netflix executives, including co-CEO Ted Sarandos, have emphasized that the company has no intention of removing Warner Bros. movies from cinemas. According to Netflix, theatrical releases remain an important part of Warner Bros.’ identity and value as a studio.
This statement is significant. Netflix built its reputation on a streaming-first model, often giving films limited theatrical runs before moving quickly to digital release. Warner Bros., on the other hand, is one of Hollywood’s most historically theatrical studios, responsible for major cinema franchises and box-office-driven storytelling.
By committing to theatrical releases, Netflix is signaling that Warner Bros. movies will not become streaming-only titles.
What “Staying in Theaters” Really Means
While Netflix says Warner Bros. films will remain in cinemas, industry observers note that traditional theatrical windows may change.
Instead of long exclusive cinema runs lasting several months, Warner Bros. movies could follow a shorter theatrical window before becoming available on streaming. Netflix has previously described long windows as outdated and not consumer-friendly.
This suggests a future where:
Warner Bros. films still premiere in cinemas
Theaters remain part of the release strategy
Streaming access may arrive earlier than in the traditional model
For audiences, this could mean faster access at home. For cinemas, it raises questions about box-office sustainability.
What This Means for the Future of Warner Bros. Movies
1. Warner Bros. Keeps Its Big-Screen Identity
Warner Bros. has built its legacy on theatrical storytelling from franchise films to prestige cinema. Netflix’s position indicates that the studio’s cinematic DNA will remain intact, at least in the near future.
This matters for filmmakers who still design movies for the big screen and for audiences who value the theatrical experience.
2. A Hybrid Release Model Becomes the New Normal
Rather than choosing between theaters and streaming, Warner Bros. movies may increasingly follow a hybrid release strategy debuting in cinemas, then transitioning more quickly to Netflix.
This approach could redefine how success is measured, shifting focus from box-office totals alone to a combination of:
Theater performance
Streaming engagement
Global audience reach
3. Franchise Films Face a Turning Point
Major Warner Bros. properties including long-running franchises could be most affected. These films traditionally rely on extended theatrical runs to build cultural impact and revenue.
If theatrical windows shrink, Warner Bros. may need to rethink:
Marketing strategies
Budget expectations
How blockbuster success is defined in a streaming-driven era
A Defining Moment for Warner Bros. and Hollywood
Netflix’s pledge to keep Warner Bros. movies in theaters is more than a reassurance; it represents a transitional moment for Hollywood.
If the strategy succeeds, Warner Bros. could become the model for how legacy studios survive in a streaming-first world without abandoning cinema. If it fails, it may accelerate the decline of traditional theatrical dominance.
Either way, the future of Warner Bros. movies is likely to look different; not absent from theaters, but reshaped by a changing entertainment economy.
Netflix subscribers are set to lose one of television’s most popular long running fantasy series, as all 15 seasons of Supernatural are scheduled to leave the streaming platform this Thursday.
The news has sparked reactions across social media, especially among longtime fans who have relied on Netflix as the main home of the show for years.
Why SupernaturalIs Leaving Netflix
Supernatural, which aired from 2005 to 2020, is not a Netflix Original. The series was produced by Warner Bros. Television and made available on Netflix through a licensing agreement.
According to industry reports, the agreement has now expired, which means Netflix no longer has the rights to stream the show. As a result, all 15 seasons are being removed from the platform as part of Netflix’s regular content rotation.
Once it leaves Netflix, Supernatural is expected to be available on other streaming platforms linked to Warner Bros., although availability may differ depending on location.
For viewers who are yet to complete the series or those planning a full rewatch this week is the final opportunity to stream Supernatural on Netflix.
Netflix typically removes titles immediately after their final listed day, so episodes may no longer be accessible once Thursday ends.
Other Popular TV Shows Leaving Netflix Soon
Supernatural is not the only major title exiting Netflix this month. Several other well-known TV series are also expected to leave the platform due to expiring licensing deals.
These include:
How I Met Your Mother
The 100
Arrow
Evil
Downton Abbey
The removals highlight Netflix’s ongoing shift away from licensed content as more studios move their shows to in house streaming services.
Movies Also Leaving Netflix This Month
In addition to TV shows, Netflix is removing several popular films from its library, including:
The Goonies
Back to the Future trilogy
Beverly Hills Cop films
Exact removal dates may vary depending on region.
Why Netflix Keeps Losing Licensed Shows
Netflix has increasingly focused on producing original content, while licensed movies and TV series are rotated out when contracts expire.
As major studios prioritize their own platforms, long-running shows like Supernatural are less likely to remain on Netflix permanently.
The departure of Supernatural marks the end of an era for many Netflix viewers who followed the Winchester brothers’ journey across 15 seasons.
If the show is on your watchlist, now is the time to finish it.
Funke Akindele has once again reshaped the Nollywood box office landscape. Her latest film, Behind The Scenes, has reportedly crossed ₦200 million in cinema revenue within its opening weekend, setting a new benchmark for Nollywood releases in 2025.
According to FilmOne Entertainment, the distributor of Behind The Scenes, the movie crossed over ₦200 million at the Nigerian box office in its opening weekend, making it the biggest opening weekend of 2025 and breaking multiple box office records in just one weekend. Behind The Scenes achieved the milestone in just three days of nationwide cinema screenings, placing it among the strongest opening performances in Nollywood history.
A Record-Setting Opening
Industry reports indicate that the film not only surpassed the ₦200 million mark but also recorded one of the highest opening weekend admissions of the year so far. While full audited box office rankings are still being compiled, early data suggests the movie has broken multiple opening weekend performance records within the Nigerian cinema space.
This performance further reinforces Funke Akindele’s position as one of Nollywood’s most commercially reliable filmmakers, the box office queen.
Funke Akindele’s Expanding Box Office Legacy
This latest achievement adds to a growing list of commercial milestones for Akindele, whose previous releases have dominated cinema charts and redefined what is financially possible for Nollywood films. Over the past few years, she has repeatedly delivered record-breaking openings, making her projects major events in Nigeria’s theatrical calendar.
With Behind The Scenes still in its early cinema run, industry observers expect the film’s total gross to continue climbing in the coming weeks.
The reported ₦200 million opening weekend underscores a broader shift in Nollywood’s commercial power. It signals increasing audience turnout, stronger distribution structures, and the ability of Nigerian films to generate blockbuster-level revenue within a short timeframe.
Empire Magazine has officially named Ryan Coogler’s Sinners as its Film of the Year, marking the genre-blending drama as one of the most critically acclaimed movies of 2025.
The recognition places Sinners at the top of Empire’s annual list celebrating the year’s best films. Directed by RyanCoogler and starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role, the movie has received widespread praise for its bold storytelling, striking performances, and cultural relevance.
Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan
Set in 1930s Mississippi, Sinners blends historical drama, supernatural horror, and music-driven storytelling. The film follows twin brothers who return to their hometown to open a juke joint, only for events to spiral after a supernatural presence disrupts the night. Critics have noted that the film uses horror elements to examine themes of race, identity, exploitation, and resilience.
Empire Magazine’s decision reflects a growing critical consensus around Sinners. Since its release, the film has featured prominently on year end best of lists and has generated strong awards-season buzz, particularly for Coogler’s direction and Jordan’s performance.
In its coverage, Empire praised the film for pushing genre cinema beyond conventional boundaries, blending spectacle with meaningful social commentary. The publication also highlighted the film’s cinematography, production design, and music, which play a central role in shaping its emotional and thematic impact.
The Film of the Year honour further positions Sinners as a major contender in the ongoing awards conversation and underscores Ryan Coogler’s reputation as one of contemporary cinema’s most influential filmmakers.
