Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku and the Women of ‘Sinners’ on the Film’s Diverse, Empowered Female Characters


The women of 'Sinners' — Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Li Jun Li and Jayme Lawson — reflect on starring in Ryan Coogler's period vampire thriller.

Similarly, Lawson’s Pearline is a singer whom Sammie takes a liking to and proves to be more intriguing when you consider the circumstances she’s escaping — having been married off by her family to a much older man. And, finally, Li adds depth to Grace Chow, the local shopkeeper whose desire to protect her daughter drives her to make a controversial decision that kicks off the film’s bloody third act. Here, Steinfeld, Mosaku and Li reflect on their experience making Coogler’s Southern Gothic drama and how their characters’ arcs transformed them off camera.
