Gardens Cinema: Sinners

Gardens Cinema is back this summer for four evenings of outdoor screenings at Botanical Gardens, presented in partnership with Mockingbird Cinema.

We're turning up the heat on Saturday night with Sinners, the multi-award-winning thriller led by Michael B. Jordan.

Set against a sultry backdrop of power and deception, Sinners follows a man torn between ambition and morality as he’s drawn into a dangerous world where every choice has consequences. With simmering tension, striking visuals, and a pulse-quickening soundtrack, it’s a story of desire, betrayal, and the thin line between right and wrong.

Dress to impress in your most daring, devilish, or all-black ensembles (sinners welcome, halos optional) and join us for a night of stylish suspense under the stars.
