3.5/5

In this fiery revenge thriller from debuting director Aleshea Harris, twin sisters plot to kill the monster daddy (Sterling K. Brown) who burned their house down. There’s no way to take your eyes off what’s on screen. No way in hell.

There is an epic-like element to the narrative, reinforced by the ebbing morality that is explored religiously, spiritually, and interpersonally.

Harris’ adaptation is a strong feature debut, losing none of its potency while making use of her new medium.

Is God Is weaves a suspenseful revenge story that is emotionally gripping, intensely violent, and absurdly comedic. This movie (about twin sisters on a mission to murder their abusive father) also confronts issues about prejudice and religious hypocrisy.

5/5

Harris creates a kinetic, well-crafted mix of Quentin Tarantino, the Old Testament and Clint Eastwood Westerns that’s a bloody good time, with a humanist heart beating just beneath the wounded skin.

It’s an impressive debut from Harris, who tends to soulful anguish and grindhouse-style hellraising, delivering an unusual take on revenge cinema.

Is God Is was absolutely fabulous. The production was intense, creative, and emotionally gripping from beginning to end. The casting was especially outstanding—each actor fully embodied their role and brought incredible energy and depth to the performance. The storytelling was bold and unique, blending dark humor, drama, and suspense in a way that kept the audience fully engaged. Every scene felt intentional and impactful. A truly memorable production with a talented cast that made the experience even stronger.
