Celluloid editorial verdict
Critics (97%) were notably more enthusiastic than audiences (75%).
What is Is God Is about?
Twin sisters Racine and Anaia — scarred as children by a fire their father set — receive a letter from their dying mother ordering them to kill the man who disfigured them. Aleshea Harris adapts her own award-winning play into a Southern Gothic revenge road trip where Kara Young and Mallori Johnson chase Sterling K. Brown's father figure across a charged American landscape, colliding with Janelle Monáe and Vivica A. Fox as scripture, rage, and dark comedy rewrite the rules of who gets to deliver justice.

Is God Is Review: Twin Sisters Turn Southern Gothic Revenge Into Certified Fresh Theater
★★★★½
Aleshea Harris's play-to-screen debut is a 97% Tomatometer knockout — Kara Young and Mallori Johnson make twin-sister rage feel biblical and brutally funny.
One of 2026's essential theatricals — a revenge fable anchoring the United States section on Best of 2026 with scripture quoted like threats.
