Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. is a chronicle of a woman at a crossroads, analyzing life, love, and God in excruciating detail — and not necessarily in that order. Rated: 3/4 Sep 18, 2022 Full Review Richard Brody The New Yorker Ebo doesn’t look closely at the church’s business side or the protagonists’ inner lives; nonetheless, Hall provides the film with a solid emotional core... Sep 12, 2022 Full Review Justin Chang NPR Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall give wonderfully complex performances as a disgraced Christian power couple trying to salvage what remains of their spiritual empire. Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Joe George Sojourners As much as the Childs insist their lives are blessed by God's favor, pointing to their giant house and luxury clothes, Honk for Jesus constantly shows their suffering. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 20, 2024 Full Review Shanelle Genai The Root "...what do you do when the people you expect to walk more upright than the rest of us prove to be just as jacked up and arguably more mendacious as the sinners they act like they’re better than? Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views I would recommend “Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul” if you love fictional documentaries, love the cast or are familiar with this type of prosperity gospel. Jun 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

JOHN C i love it and amazing and awesomeness Christian movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Margarita It was an awful movie! Trailer was very deceiving!!!!!! Foul language and inappropriate scenes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/22 Full Review Jeanette Too much solo dialogue. Talk, talk, talk, talk, . Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/19/22 Full Review Lillian D This was quite different from what I expected. The acting was superb! The storyline was sometimes difficult to follow. What happened before the story begins was not clear. I think it was worth seeing, especially for the acting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/22 Full Review Albert M Kept falling asleep, thought would be more funny. Not sure who this movie is for. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/14/22 Full Review Patricia W Slow and dull. Kept hoping the funny part would start, but no luck. The performances were good but the movie was not.
