The Jesus Rolls's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
"This isn?t the kind of movie that strives for meaning, or insists upon its moral compass...The sun is bright, the spirit is blithe, and the standards are low. But if you want to roll with the Jesus, then Jesus will be happy to roll with you".
Roger Ebert
"'The Jesus Rolls' mostly struggles to find an identity that feels fresh while also rekindling something fans liked from this character?s origin. It?s hard to make a movie about annoying wanderers interesting, engaging, or realistic?three words no one would use to describe this film".
The Hollywood Reporter
"Though Turturro turned this small part into a memorable character for the Coens, Quintana is not so reliably funny here, especially headlining a whole movie of very intermittent charm...[the film] just looks anachronistic in regard to both sex and its non-PC view of women eager to oblige all and sundry".
Variety
"In the end, the project doesn?t really work. The Coen brothers have a touch for the absurd, and a gift for dialogue, that?s lacking here, and without those qualities, Jesus wears out his welcome relatively early in the journey".
New York Times
"'The Jesus Rolls' ambles into more genuinely audacious territory, offering emotionally compelling candor about aging and loneliness. After which it settles back into licentious goofball mode. The movie doesn?t always work, but it?s never boring".
