4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Visually speaking, the film is a feast for the eyes. Everything is both thrilling and alternately violent and entertaining, in a somewhat crazy way. And the blues music makes the film swing like few others.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Coogler's finest and most daring film to date. Much credit goes to how the spectacular surface is anchored in legends and metaphors that lead deeper and further. With so much sin, death, resurrection, sacrifice and bloodshed, this might even be a perfect Easter film for Holy Week. Like a modern passion of equal parts suffering and desire.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Even though the formula doesn't work every time, "Sinners" is the blockbuster it SHOULD be: thrilling and full of vision.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: A memorable and captivating film that dares to forge its own path. Its unique style, powerful performances, and engaging music make it one of the year's more compelling cinematic experiences, even if it's not entirely flawless. A film that definitely engages and lingers with audiences long after the credits roll.

Translated from swedish: An absolutely brilliant horror thriller drenched in character

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: The music, sound, and stories are what will stick with me for a long time, and the combination of making this into a vampire film while honoring the vampire rules we've seen in movies just makes the whole thing more entertaining and fun.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: "Sinners" works well as a commercial horror film for those who just want to feel an adrenaline rush. But there are also additional layers of exciting and fine depth in the film through the message that Coogler presents: a razor-thin line between culture and cult, and music's importance for survival – and the forces that have historically tried to stop and eradicate Black culture.

4 / 6
Translated from swedish: Ryan Coogler's new film falls short in execution but is perfect as a cinematic experience. A southern gothic on steroids that's partly hilariously bad.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: I'm not really sure what rating to give this movie. The cinematography and effects are good, some of the characters are well-done, and the actors are obviously talented. The film is often quite good. But then... it's also a bit bad too. Ridiculous and sometimes dangerously close to being a total turkey.

5 / 10
Translated from swedish: Despite Ludwig Göransson's fantastic blues soundtrack, "Sinners" becomes a palpable anticlimax that has nothing new to offer. When "the shit hits the fan," it just falls flat - why make a vampire film if you're not going to show anything gruesome?
- Fredrik LagnetoftSwedish: Recension: "Sinners"

2 / 5
Translated from swedish: "Sinners" is worth watching for its ambitions, but a warning is issued that it may lead to disappointment.
- Kristoffer ViitaSwedish: svt.se »
-
2 / 5
Translated from swedish: The whole thing could have been absolutely wild. But historical drama, thriller, horror, romance, and musical is probably still a couple of genres too many for one film.
- Kerstin GezeliusSwedish: dn.se »
-
2 / 5
Translated from swedish: Ryan Coogler's film boasts spectacular musical numbers, but the genre blend doesn't quite work.

Translated from swedish: "Sinners" manages to create a unique vibe. A strong feeling that you're seeing something new and fresh, something you want to stay in. However, the plot itself isn't particularly groundbreaking. You want to hang out at Coogler's cool club, but you're never really dying to find out what happens next.
