Consensus: Silverman's brand of humor is dirty, offensive, and, judging from this film, very, very funny.

 4/5 |
Silverman's full-on approach works because she unflinchingly examines these themes with a disarming sweetness. Full Review |
||
 2/5 |
Her comic persona is that of a clueless and politically incorrect hipster who says terrible things without being aware of their shock value. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
By the end you'll feel like a bored parent trapped in the front row of the school play. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Ultimately, it's difficult to resist…especially when she comes out with lines like: "I don't care if you think I'm racist - I just want you to think I'm thin." Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Skip this one and check Sarah Silverman out on stage for real. Full Review |
||
|
|
Her high-wire stage performance is unmissable all the same, particularly when she's taking aim at such untouchable sacred cows as Martin Luther King. "They only mention the good stuff! He was a litterbug." Full Review |

|
3/5 |
Bad-taste material, delivered with an insouciance that looks easy until you see lesser comics trying it, is what she does best: killer gags about seven-year-old lesbians and Jews killing Jesus. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Hit’n’miss gags that target 9/11, rape, the Holocaust and Aids (“If God gives you Aids, I say, ‘Make Lemon-Aids’!”) prove that Silverman is a gifted performer but that sometimes busting taboos isn’t enough in itself. Full Review |

|
3.5/5 |
It's uneven and the relationship between your sense of taste and your sense of humour will determine whether you enjoy it, but at its best, Jesus Is Magic doesn't look out of place alongside the best stand-up concert movies. Full Review |
||
|
4/6 |
Not to everyone’s taste but her legions of internet fans won’t be disappointed. Anyone who can come up with a line like ‘I don’t care if you think I’m a racist, I just want you to think I’m thin,’ is okay in our books. Full Review |

There is a healthy release to be had in this address of our shared, so-often-facile Hallmark-card reverence. Humor can be the best weapon after all. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
Silverman fails at what she does not because she says dirty things, but because that's all she says, and she's not very good at it. Full Review |

B- |
Silverman's raunchy pretend comedy act can't sustain its energy and humor. Full Review |

A montagem é caótica e as seqüências extra-palco são, em sua maioria, fraquíssimas. Ainda assim, a forma aparentemente inocente com que Silverman interpreta seu texto politicamente incorreto compensam estas falhas.

Here, in her own vehicle, Silverman veers from the faux-naive mockery of minorities into an oncoming collision with white liberal guilt and condescension . . . stand-up [that] makes you sit and think. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Whether you think it's awesome or awful, there's no denying that 'Jesus is Magic' is sheer Silverman, a portrait of the artist as a young maniac. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Silverman is clearly in the line of such fearless comedy forebears as Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. As she says at the end of this mostly hilarious movie, 'I don't care if you think I'm racist. I just want you to think I'm thin.' Full Review |
