This is the only movie Bruce Marchiano has directed, and man, he hit it out of the park the first time out.
Alison (Chanel Marriott) is trying to get an abortion, but as fate would have it, Jesus (also Marchiano) is the janitor who alternates between being chill and just breaking down in tears. Only she can see him, but so can other people who each get their own version of the Son of God.
This is a film that counters pro-choice arguments at every stage. And then there’s Ricky, who pressures Alison into this. Jesus even tells him to be a man at one point, but Ricky may be the greatest of all monsters. There’s an abortionist who refers to her child as a growing lump of tissue and a nurse who only cares about her three cats. She’s just celebrated her abortion 5,000; one wonders if you get a loyalty card.
There’s a fantastic moment when Alison gets to interview Jesus, whose favorite song is “Yes, Jesus Loves Me” and whose favorite movie is Ben-Hur. No matter what, mankind will never make anything better than the chariot race. We should just give up.
You can watch this on Tubi.
