09/05/2016 Deliberately paced but rather irresistible can-you-believe-this- doc, about a small town in Oklahoma that annually puts on a passion play, and the year their (blonde, 250+ pound) Jesus comes out as....Buddhist. An intriguing look at small towns with nothing going on, traditions, faith, and the people who love you; the ending is genuinely surprising and sweet, upending a lot of "red state" stereotypes handily. See more 05/28/2016 There are so many things going on in this film. It started of fascinating but slowly became more and more suspicious. The filming appeared to be set up and the scenes they filmed appeared to good to be true (I.e fat Jesus ordering wine coolers). A lot of the scenes used multiple camera angles and cuts. At the end of the day it appears as though this documentary is a hoax in my opinion. See more 01/23/2016 Loved it! Affectionate portrait of a small midwest town and a quirky slice involving the yearly local Passion Play that involves all the town's citizens. Good-natured and funny in a way reminiscent of Andy and his Mayberry friends but, somehow, amazingly it's all real, right here in Oklahoma. Unfortunately, I think this movie will end the Pageant's magic since the event will likely now be overrun by snarky hipsters. See more 09/03/2015 one of the weirdest movies i've seen in a bit. i had no idea while watching it if it was a movie or a docu. recommended! See more Read all reviews
