Aggressively, painfully quirky...July 03, 2012
Like "Little Miss Sunshine," this quirky indie comedy chugs along at an amiable pace, and with the same sort of dysfunctional family humor. It's not as successful as that film, but only because it's not as complex.May 09, 2012
Lee scratches the skin of family bonds until it bleeds.April 30, 2012
The title alone invites you to cuss at this smug film about family tites, and you may do so the second you catch a whiff of the portentous first shot: a Wes Anderson put-on.May 03, 2012
So what is "Jesus Henry Christ" about?May 24, 2012
If it all seems a tad to quirky and twee, that's the overwhelming flaw in director Lee's obvious and lightweight homage to director Wes Anderson.May 03, 2012
It winds up just being annoyingMay 04, 2012
Even for a surreal black comedy, "Jesus Henry Christ" requires massive suspension of disbelief.July 20, 2012
Stylized comedy explores identity; adults drink and smoke.April 27, 2012
The cast is the spine of this film. Toni Collette and Michael Sheen give masterful performances as the hapless parents, and young Jason Spevack and Samantha Weinstein do the same as the brilliant, awkward children.May 25, 2012
Watching Jesus Henry Christ sometimes feels like being trapped in a building with a faulty fire alarm.May 07, 2012
The film is an uneven mix of forced eccentricities and gradually annoying visual gimmicks that leave the characters almost completely detached from reality.
