Honk For Jesus, Save Your Soul Review: Megachurch Satire Is Magnetic [Sundance]
In her feature film debut, writer-director Adamma Ebo seamlessly blends satire with incisive drama about the downfall of a megachurch pastor and his attempts to resurrect his reputation. Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul, filmed partially in a mockumentary style, examines megachurch pastors as icons, a scandal’s effects on the community, and who exactly benefits after a seemingly infallible leader falls from his pedestal. Bolstered by exceptional performances by Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown, Ebo’s memorable film strikes the right balance between drama and humor.
