What Would Jesus Buy? is a quirky docu-comedy that tackles the over-commercialization of Christmas with a unique blend of humor and urgency. Directed by Rob VanAlkemade, it features Reverend Billy and his Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir, who embark on this almost theatrical journey across America. There's a palpable tension throughout, as they wrestle with the absurdities of consumer culture, all while maintaining a light, almost whimsical tone. The pacing is lively, interspersing vivid performances with serious commentary. It's interesting how they utilize practical effects and spontaneous street performances to really drive home their message. It’s not just about the holiday; it’s a critique of our consumption habits, and it's done in a way that draws you in even if you don’t typically watch documentaries.
