Electric Jesus (2020)

I had the joy of seeing this film with a live audience at the Nashville Film Festival. This movie is a fun, humorous and charming coming of stage story that follows the tropes of "the muse and artist" like Almost Famous (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181875/) with pointed and clever satire on Christian popular culture, in the vein of "Saved!" ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332375/ ). The cast are mostly relative newcomers to acting, but create strong and believable performances, while also making room from appearances from veteran actors such as Brian Baumgartner (The Office) and Judd Nelson (Breakfast Club, and others). The dialogue is fun, sharp witty, and the soundtrack music is what the 80s sounds like at it's best, and the lyrics will cause you likely to laugh out loud, if you pay attention. Great story, heartfelt, fun and touching - you will love it.
