Critical response

On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, The Sinners holds an approval rating of 50% based on 18 reviews, with an average rating of 4.5/10.[3] The film also holds a B− grade from Abbie Bernstein on AssignmentX, who said that "[it is] artful but uneven small-town high school horror".[4]

Mae Abdulbaki of Screen Rant said that "the feature film debut of director and co-writer Courtney Paige, sin and religion clumsily hold together a story with not much to say".[5] Jeannie Blue of Cryptic Rock praised its acting, calling it "solid", but criticized it for "too many ideas that never pan out".[6] Tori Danielle said that he "really enjoyed [The Sinners]", calling it "a unique murder mystery that [is] highly recommend[ed]".[7]

Jennie Kermode of Eye for Film scored the film 3.5/5 and said "The Sinners plays the part so well that you'd be forgiven for thinking it was just more of the usual, but this is Courtney Paige's film, and she's taking it somewhere very different."[8] THN's Kat Hughes positively reviewed the film, giving it 3/5, and said "A film which aesthetically and emotionally aligns with The Craft, The Sinners offers a surprising hybrid of teen slasher and crime thriller."[9]

Stephanie Archer of the Film Inquiry said that "The Sinners is a deeply layered and nuanced film that finds as much strength in what is not discussed as in what is. Though bloated at times, viewers will be left to wonder if this speaks to the choice of medium or to budgetary restraints. And while it is definitely not the film of the year, it is certainly a strong candidate for creating open conversations and discussions and displaying a wealth of promise from writer and director Courtney Paige. Honestly, I can not wait to see what she does next".[10]
