Film Reviews

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

–Guy Lodge, Variety

"Is God Is hardly feels like the work of a first-time director, if only because [director Aleshea] Harris approaches every beat with an astonishing confidence and coolness."

–Lyvie Scott, Inverse

"[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."

–Odie Henderson, Boston Globe
