For 88 years, a small Oklahoma town has pantomimed a passion play on a bizarre reproduction of Jerusalem built into the Wichita foothills. "Jesus Town USA" is a light-hearted and comedic documentary chronicling the journey of a 100-strong amateur cast, a dozen horses, and very devout community. Once boasting audiences of over 200,000. the Pageant now struggles to find any audience at all. When the man playing Jesus for 8 years retires, his replacement, a long-standing member of the cast, has a secret he is hiding from everyone. The journey from casting to opening night is a real-life "Waiting for Guffman" set in the heart of Oklahoma. With endearing characters, quirky humor, and stunning cinematography, "Jesus Town USA" documents a town grappling with questions of tradition, legacy, and what it means to be a community.

| User ReviewPaul SLoved it! Affectionate portrait of a small midwest town and a quirky slice involving the yearly local Passion Play that involves all the town's citizens. Good-natured and funny in a way reminiscent of Andy and his Mayberry friends but, somehow, amazingly it's all real, right here in Oklahoma. Unfortunately, I think this movie will end the Pageant's magic since the event will likely now be overrun by snarky hipsters. |
| User ReviewDean BDeliberately paced but rather irresistible can-you-believe-this- doc, about a small town in Oklahoma that annually puts on a passion play, and the year their (blonde, 250+ pound) Jesus comes out as....Buddhist. An intriguing look at small towns with nothing going on, traditions, faith, and the people who love you; the ending is genuinely surprising and sweet, upending a lot of "red state" stereotypes handily. |
| User ReviewLinda Fone of the weirdest movies i've seen in a bit. i had no idea while watching it if it was a movie or a docu. recommended! |
| User Reviewseth cThere are so many things going on in this film. It started of fascinating but slowly became more and more suspicious. The filming appeared to be set up and the scenes they filmed appeared to good to be true (I.e fat Jesus ordering wine coolers). A lot of the scenes used multiple camera angles and cuts. At the end of the day it appears as though this documentary is a hoax in my opinion. |
