Movie #781 ........................."Jesus Henry Christ"

Movie #781 "Jesus Henry Christ" is not a film for everyone, and the title is NOT meant to be disrespectful. You'll get it when you see the film. There is definitely an existential bent to the film, as the very intelligent Henry searches for his father/sperm donor and constantly asks the pertinent questions in life. There are some memorable shots in the film (photography is compliments of Julia Roberts' hubby, which is why I noticed her name was in the credits for producing), and the acting is more than competent, even from the two main kids. But it is very slow and sometimes there are scenes that don't seem to go anywhere because the film is trying to show this kid's life in a matter of a week or so. You can tell it is very much an indie film, so if you don't like the usual quirkiness of indie films, this is a no bother, but I welcomed the creativity. I found this to be a memorable, quirky film. Jesus Henry Christ 2011 PG-13 92 minutes I give it 3.7 stars out of 5. Too-smart-for-his-own-good 10-year-old Henry James Herman sets out to locate his father, an anonymous sperm donor, in this quirky comedy. Along the way, Henry uncovers family secrets that only deepen his existential quandary.
