	Media	Author	Review
		Katey Rich Vanity Fair	"A fairly simple story of theatrical rivalry (...) But the straightforward script allows more attention on the small details of the work at RTA, and for wonder at what these actors are able to accomplish."
		Stephen Saito Variety	"Cages can’t contain the sheer amount of imagination on offer in 'Sing Sing' (...) Kwedar and Bentley are conscious of the raw power of seeing these men transform before our eyes from hardened prisoners into playful performers"
		Steve Pond The Wrap	"The result isn’t seamless or slick but there’s an urgency and a grit to it, and a sense of lives lost and occasionally regained"
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"Colman Domingo shines in a subtle portrait of a prison arts program"
		Valerie Complex Deadline	"A compelling story of redemption, humanity and artistry. Impeccably directed by Greg Kwedar, is more than just a film about prison life. It’s a love letter to the transformative power of performing arts"
