CAA Media Finance handled the North American deal, while producer and sponsor Black Bear is still courting buyers in international territories.
In Variety’s review of “Sing Sing,” critic Stephen Saito was effusive in his praise of the film, praising “the deeply empathetic and utterly compelling look it offers at the execution system, where No one should be defined by their past and discarded by society. Saito also emphasized that Domingo’s leading role is a “commanding performance” that is “also captivating in simply taking in information, instinctively recognizing when to cede the spotlight to his co-stars.” His unprofessionalism.”
