Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall star in 'Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul' about the pastor and first lady of a mega-church scrambling to reclaim past glory
The film jumps from one thematic thread to another without exploring any of them thoroughly, and even so, some sequences go on longer than they should. When Lee-Curtis and Trinitie become desperate to drum up attendees for the reopening, they turn to standing by the highway, advertising their upcoming event as if it were a circus—a portent if there ever were one.
Somehow, though, the actors hold this story together: Brown flutters between wholly believable earnestness and snakelike artifice, often in a single moment. You want to like Lee-Curtis, and Brown makes you feel some sympathy for him, but the feelings he draws out are complex and thorny.
But it’s Nicole Beharie, in a supporting role, who practically walks off with the movie. She plays Shakura Sumpter, the slick co-pastor—with her husband, Keon —of a rising church that’s likely to cash in on the misfortunes of Wander to Greater Paths. Shakura recites scripture with the chipmunk brightness of an A-student. And even as she expresses fervent sympathy for Lee-Curtis and Trinitie’s predicament, she views their failure as her own glittering path to glory.
