Josh G A Canadian film layered in allegory, nuance and religious imagery. It plays out as an inside story of actors in pursuit of dreams, Old versus new concepts and generational gaps through art. As well as the idea of sacrifice in modern day. Brilliant acted by the five main members of the cast with Lothaire Bluteau being a stand out. I really loved the camera and sound design. Thought provoking and stunning film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/20/22 Full Review Audience Member An outstanding movie in which a group of actors who usually overdub prom movies decide to reenact the passion plays. A furor breaks out between conservatives and the creatives. The passion play goes ahead but eerily begins to mirror the biblical events. The performance of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater in a subway at the end iof the film s beautiful. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Jesus of Montreal is a great film and a very compelling take on Christ in modern times. In many respects, the film argues that Christ can arise from anyone and anywhere, which is an interesting way to look at it. The acting is very good and I loved the unique method of heavily utilizing the play within a film angle. The acting is very good and I loved the writing and direction of the film. It is also very well lit with the appropriate lighting in each scene and it really magnifies the poignant movies quite well. Overall, Jesus of Montreal is a really profound experience that also manages to be quite funny at times, which is a nice balance with the spiritually poignant elements. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent satire on peoples' inability to differentiate religion from reality. Admittedly dated looking but still as relevant today as it had to have been in the 80s.
