ABC News' Peter Travers declared the acting of Domingo as "simply stupendous" and highly praised the film in his review, writing: "Sing Sing is one of the best and most powerful movies you'll see this year. Despite the grim surroundings, it has a heart full to bursting and a spirit that soars." Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times called the film "gloriously lionhearted and brilliantly rendered" and considered Domingo's performance as "award-worthy work", concluding that the film "will be remembered for the amazing, multilayered, complex and shining work by Domingo and the entire ensemble". Though she believed the film "shoulders some heavy-duty ideas about forgiveness and redemption", Stephanie Zacharek of Time believed that it recognized the value and delight of pure play, writing: "It's easy, and comfortable, to pass judgment [about incarcerated individuals]. But Greg Kwedar's true-to-life prison drama Sing Sing asks more of us: If we believe in our own capacity for growth and change, how can we not extend that good faith to other individuals who have made mistakes?"

Funnily enough it has similarities with THREE WOMEN (miniscule budget; short filming schedule; actors on minimal fees; similar mock doc appearance) as well as very close connections to MY time inside.

Best film of 2024 so far I think. Superb acting. Wonderful movie.
