Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. (2022) opens with Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs and his wife, First Lady Trinitie Childs, attempting a public comeback after a scandal shuts down their megachurch—setting the stage for a biting satirical mockumentary. As they invite a documentary crew to capture their return, cracks begin to show in their façade, revealing the high cost of salvation in a commodified faith system. #HonkForJesusSaveYourSoul #2022 #AdammaEbo #ReginaHall #SterlingKBrown
Regina Hall’s Trinitie carries the emotional weight; she is regal yet burdened, navigating the void between faith and performance. Sterling K. Brown’s Lee-Curtis is charismatic but deluded, a pastor who preaches divinity while drowning in moral hypocrisy. The dynamic between them is fraught—her resolve and shattered faith contrast with his self-deception and showmanship. #MockumentaryComedy #DramaSatire
Adamma Ebo directs with sharp intelligence and restraint, balancing humor and critique with cinematic polish. The tone is satirical yet intimate, creating atmosphere through precise cinematography by Alan Gwizdowski and measured cuts that underscore the emotional reveal beneath the spectacle. The film critiques themes of religious hypocrisy, gender roles, redemption, and performativity, all while remaining empathetic to its characters. #ReligionSatire #MegachurchDrama
Performances stand out: Hall delivers nuanced vulnerability under pressure, and Brown’s cool exterior hides deep fractures. Supporting players, including Nicole Beharie, contribute bright contrasts that amplify the central couple’s instability. Visuals are crisp and controlled, bolstering the mock-documentary style, while the production keeps focus on the characters’ emotional gravity. #NicoleBeharie
Overall, Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. maintains an edgy, reflective tone. It opens a window into a world of faith turned performance, driven by strong performances, intelligent direction, and keen cultural observations. The film remains compelling in its first act, inviting audiences to unpack sincerity behind salvation without revealing its resolution.
