Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul. (2022) 【WORKING】
(2022) is a fascinating, uncomfortable, and bitingly sharp look at the intersection of faith, ego, and the "business" of salvation. If you haven't seen it, it’s a satirical mockumentary that feels less like a spoof and more like a forensic autopsy of a megachurch scandal.
Here’s a breakdown of why this film sticks with you long after the credits roll: 1. The Performance Powerhouse
It’s not a "feel-good" movie. It’s a critique of how institutional religion can sometimes protect the institution while neglecting the soul. It challenges the audience to look past the stained glass and the designer shoes to see the humanity (and the hypocrisy) underneath.
Whether you grew up in the pews or have never stepped foot in a megachurch, the themes of are universal.
The film lives and breathes through and Sterling K. Brown .
Writer-director Adamma Ebo doesn't lean into cartoonish parody. Instead, the film mimics the actual aesthetics of megachurch culture: the massive empty sanctuaries, the obsession with luxury brands (the Prada scene is iconic), and the linguistic gymnastics used to bypass accountability. It captures the specific "church politics" of the Black church experience with both love and a very sharp scalpel. 3. The Genre Blur
