About the Film Sinners
'Sinners' tells the compelling story of twins Elijah "Smoke" and Elias "Stack" Moore, portrayed against the rich backdrop of 1932 Mississippi Delta. After spending years working with the Chicago Mafia, the brothers return to their hometown with dreams of establishing a juke joint for the local Black community.
The film follows their journey as their nightclub opens to immediate success, only to have their triumph interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious man and two companions seeking entry. This unexpected visit sets in motion a night of despair that tests the brothers' resolve and threatens their newfound stability.
Lawson's heartfelt acknowledgment of her "Sinners family" underscores the genuine connections formed during filming, relationships that have clearly transcended the production itself. The actress expressed her ongoing excitement about continuing to see and spend time with her co-stars, proving that some on-screen chemistry creates off-screen bonds that last well beyond the final cut.
