- 50The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurrayWhile Saints And Sinners will strike some as a refreshingly even-toned social study, it's also a documentary heavy on talking heads and low on real drama. It's beautifully shot and deeply felt, but, for the most part, hearing a description of the film is as good as watching it.
