Every role in this film is just nailed by its actor...

Alison Maclean takes an uncommon approach to a common theme and comes up with a film that is nothing short of a revelation.

Jack Black has become impossible to ignore.

takes some different turns

| Original Score: B | Jul 22, 2012

JESUS' SON is bottom of the line trash that wants to be art. Full of self important crap, tedious performances, and embarrassing experimental flourishes, this is a movie to avoid at all costs.

[J]oyless and empty...

The film uses dreamlike quality to evoke youth subculture of the 1970s, and Billy Crudup is perfectlt cast as a man who believes he possesses healing powers and wants to do good, but his attempts always end disastrously

Manages to blend its stories together into a nearly seamless narrative, sliding dreamily from one episode to the next before we even realize we've gone.

Despite the occasional miscalculation and disappointing last half-hour, an estimable piece of work.
