George-Michael Holy moly! I loved the songs and the art style! Truly a captivating film that is really worth several rewatches. Harry Lennix and Mali Music draw us in with their act performances. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/20 Full Review Samer W I think this film is complicated and challenging, by worth a watch by many. By and large it does hold true to the gospel narrative in the Bible - at least in broad strokes while it tries to challenge the audience with race and gender swapping, as well as moving the setting of scenes between modern day, and historical contexts. Overall, it is a well crafted movie, though stylistically it may not always be my preference - but that gets to one of the key reasons the film was created. I am a white man. The film makers explicitly share that part of the work this is meant to do is to connect black people to Jesus - to see themselves in Jesus. Screening this in an audience that was nearly 100% black, and hearing the Q&A session after - there is something about that experience that was moving to many in a way, that I can't completely understand - but I see the value in it. For the person of color who may feel separated from God, but also for the white person who has never had to feel that difference - this film has value.
