Finished "All the Sinners Bleed" by S.A. Cosby. Titus Crown, the first black sheriff of a rural VA county, is hunting down a serial killer amidst simmering racial tensions.
While Charon County is fictional, the given geography might make it Surry or Charles City counties, places I've spent a good amount of time working with sheriff's offices. Cosby nails the law enforcement vibe & mirrors my observations of race relations in SE VA.
4/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This video essay about the look of Sinners (which was shot on 70mm IMAX and Ultra Panavision) brought up something I hadn't realised until now: the large format gives you a wide field of view with the look of a telephoto lens!

Personal observation: there's also very little barrel lens distortion that usually comes with wide shots on 35mm.
