News from the Good Lord

About This Movie

So, 'News from the Good Lord' is quite the quirky little film. It has this oddball comedy vibe that feels like it’s dipping into existential waters – you know, the whole idea of characters thinking they’re part of a story? The pacing’s definitely a bit offbeat, meandering in places, but that kind of suits the odd narrative where a taxi driver and her brother are grappling with their reality after a novelist's suicide. The performances lean into that absurdity, and there’s a certain charm in their interactions. The practical effects are minimal, but there's an interesting play with metaphysical themes that makes it stand out. It’s definitely a film you’ll remember for its strange perspective on life and fiction.
