Critics Consensus

Stylistically freewheeling and fueled by righteous fury, Is God Is is a blistering revenge thriller executed with superb directorial confidence by Aleshea Harris.

If the results are longer on action than on substance, they’re nonetheless harrowing and haunting.

Is God Is is fanciful and brutal, sometimes simultaneously, taking a page or two from Tarantino’s Kill Bill.

The film is a tour de force that perfectly blends Afro-Surrealism, humor, and gritty drama.

A compelling world and characters, [but] Is God Is could’ve been iconic. Instead, it offers final judgment, giving fire and brimstone to the Angry Black Girl who is simply too angry.

A revenge story burning with unbridled rage but also a tender, emotional story of sisterly love...Is God Is is both thematically complex but cinematically simple, a trojan horse of profound ideas presented with crowd pleasing execution.
