So emotionally, dramatically, philosophically complex that it’s tempting to put on professorial airs and focus entirely on its depth. But it is also, just as importantly, electrifying to watch.

3.5/4

[Is God Is] has the aura of Greek tragedy and the darkest heart of neo-noir. Its soul is an unapologetic howl of Black female rage represented by the superb lead performances of Kara Young and Mallori Johnson.

Both wildly entertaining and viciously upsetting, this remarkable debut boldly reaps what others have sown.

Harris’ excellent work extends to the visuals as well. In an era when so many films are aesthetically bland and unappealing, Is God Is stands out.

Is God Is is forging a really unique path in trying to mine the layers of how the audience thinks about violence both within artistic entertainment fiction but also in real life.

Aleshea Harris is a filmmaker to watch. Her symbolic movie has the eerie allure of a tall tale entwined with gothic storytelling and the rage of the monstrous feminine. Is God Is twists, turns, and burns like a snake in the guts…And, yes, it’s brilliant.
