Once every few years, there comes a movie that you know - you KNOW - is gonna be a genre-defining cult classic that critics (and devout fans) are gonna talk about for years and years to come. ‘Is God Is’ is one such movie. When someone recommended it to me and I watched the trailer, I knew I was gonna love it, but I didn't know that it would, in its own right, turn out to be a masterpiece. The blend of mystery, …

This film is a great watch. It was obviously not intended to be enjoyed by every demographic and we got certain demographics hating on people that actually enjoyed the film. Is God Is has great moments and seeing the chemistry of the twins made me even closer to them as a viewer. The cinematography was decent but the acting was GREAT. The only criticism I had for this film is how it fell short. There was obviously …

When movie rating aggregation sites give a film high marks, one should expect that the picture delivers the goods (after all, those grades don’t spontaneously materialize out of thin air). But there are times when a vastly overrated release inexplicably (and undeservedly) gets good grades that leave one perplexed. Such is the case with the debut feature from writer-director Aleshea Harris in this adaptation of her …

What did I just watch? It was terrible. I fast-forwarded through most of the scenes after a certain point. The dubbing was also awful. I was curious because of the poster, so I wanted to give it a chance, but I think it was a complete waste of time. Is it watchable? I definitely don't recommend it. It would be a waste of time. Maybe you'll like it, but I'd advise you to stay away. Still, thanks for your efforts.

A really dumb movie that is aimed directly at an extremely dumb demographic. For some reason there is a small minority of people who are clapping like seals for this movie. Hmm I wonder why they are pretending to like this movie? Yup.
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 211 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 12, 2026. Method

positive · AI labelView post →I can't remember the last time I saw as confident a debut film as IS GOD IS. Aleshea Harris is the real deal.
positive · AI labelView post →If you haven't seen Is God Is, I highly recommend! I think this may be the last weekend it's in theaters, per Aleasha's insta, and it's worth seeing on a big screen. I love that the weapon of choice is a rock in a sock, b/c everyone in the story exists within a prison of patriarchy
positive · AI labelView post →First trailer drops for Aleshea Harris’ ‘IS GOD IS’ starring Kara Young, Mallori Johnson, Janelle Monáe and Sterling K. Brown. The film follows two sisters hunting revenge against their father who burned them in a fire as infants. In theaters May 15. #IsGodIs #AlesheaHarris
neutral · AI labelView post →Aleshea Harris says she felt protective about adapting her award-winning play ‘IS GOD IS’ into a film. “I didn’t want anyone to tidy it up. So, I feel that I absolutely needed to be the one to translate it from a play script to a screenplay and also as a director.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Janelle Monáe praises writer-director Aleshea Harris’ work in ‘IS GOD IS’. “The way that she was able to bring this Gothic Southern revenge film to life is just really remarkable... when I found out who else was going to be involved, I knew it was going to be special.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Just saw “Is God Is”. It is a really sad, great film about family trauma, family relationships, abuse, and revenge. The lead actresses were absolutely brilliant! I definitely recommend.

neutral · AI labelView post →Is God Is (2026): the best film I’ve seen so far this year. The cast: impeccable, the style: kinetic, the substance: searing; Aleshea Harris’ first film, but born into it like the generational trauma of her story. A vital, howling stab in the guts, as painful as it is glorious. #FilmSky

Yes Remarkably assured debut feature from Harris features dynamic performances from Young & Johnson. Most clever depiction of "twinspeak" I've seen. #filmsky 📽
positive · AI labelView post →IS GOD IS is a magnificent feature film debut from Aleshea Harris. Kara Young and Mallori Johnson are fierce af and darkly funny. This a brutal revenge story and Sterling K. Brown gives a sinister, egosentric performance. Highly recommend. #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →IS GOD IS is easily one of the best movies I've seen this year. Fantastic acting, music, and direction. The movie hemorrhages style. It is an uncomfortable revenge story, and one hell of a journey. Saw it last night and am still fixated on it.

positive · AI labelView post →Even if two high-profile news events involving black men murdering their partners or children hadn’t occurred mere days before I first saw this movie, this would still be timely. IS GOD IS burns brightly, and righteously.
positive · AI labelView post →📽️🩸 Watched IS GOD IS tonight. A wild ride that's never boring & often compelling af, this movie shines w fantastic performances from everyone- especially Young & Johnson, who play twin sisters. It's stylish, weird, twisted, & often darkly hilarious. Unique as hell, it deserves to be seen, so see it!
positive · AI labelView post →100 percent!!! Fun fact: When Sinners wrapped, the same film crew went to work on IS GOD IS for a 25-day shoot. Twins? Nah they cousins. Saw a screening where icons Erika, Vivica and new icon Aleshea did a Q&A.
neutral · AI labelView post →Have y’all seen the trailer for this new movie Is God Is?! An original story! By a BLACK WOMAN!!! It looks amazing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Far funnier and more playful than the premise might suggest, and all the better for it. Not that IS GOD IS lacks for bloody violence. But before the film reaches its grim climax, Harris lets her twin sister protagonists have some absurdist adventures, resulting in a richer, more eccentric flick.

positive · AI labelView post →IS GOD IS (2026): Yeah, that looked as good as the trailers made it seem. Well acted, gets right to the point and doesn’t do any weird digressions, just a strongly made movie that’s also angry as hell and lets that take over in the right way.
