An excellent film all around. Strikes the right tone and pacing between the gritty reality and the human potential for good. Very little to improve in this film. The script, film making craft, and acting all support the story very well. The only reason I don't rate it a 10 is that I have no direct experience with prisons and can't confirm its accuracy about life there. Everything that is visible in the film is handled well.
Also an important film in that it shows the consequences of mediocre parole boards and injustices in sentencing. See this if you have an interest in prisons, the justice system, rehabilitation, or theater.
Plot summary
Divine G, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn't commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group alongside other incarcerated men in this story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art.

Contrasts in humanity
Not my type of movie but was rather enjoyable
Saw this movie as one of those Mystery movies where you do not know what you are seeing until you get there. I enjoyed this movie even tho this wouldn't of been a movie I would of 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 Grabbing my attention and kept me in my seat till the end. Again the the cast was most of the prisoners that was part of the theater group and they actually did a really good job considering they only exp they had was in Prison.
