    1. Little Easter egg for the true cinephiles: if you spell the title backwards it’s Si Dog Si!

    2. Heard good things from a buddy who saw an early screening. I’ll be checking it out.

    3. This is an adaptation of an Off-Broadway play that combines mythology and contemporary drama. Here’s the opening from a [Vulture review](https://www.vulture.com/2018/02/theater-review-is-god-is-seeks-the-divine.html) of the play that might answer questions about the title, since some people are writing it off without bothering to look it up first:

      >*Is God Is*. The title of Aleshea Harris’s play is cyclical: a question, followed by an answer, followed by a question. Doubt, certainty, doubt again. The play has cycles built into its DNA: it’s a revenge drama, and as we’ve known since Sophocles put the cursed House of Atreus on stage, violence begets violence as surely as Adam begat Cain and Abel.

      Only saw the trailer once awhile back before another film and immediately added it to my watchlist. Saw the film last week and really enjoyed it.

      Y’all debating the title while I’m just happy Vivica A Fox is getting work again.

      I’ve been seeing the original poster every time I go to AMC and was never curious enough to look it up. It’s good to finally know what it’s about.

      The cast alone is a masterpiece. Sterling K. Brown and Janelle Monáe in a revenge thriller? Count me in!

      This movie looks cool as fuck. The trailer really grabbed my attention the first time I saw it.

    9. There comes to be a point where you really ask yourself, and I ask myself this because I’m Black, who the hell is this film for?

      There’s a reason why any Tyler Perry film, Hood films in the 90s or Sinners were massive hits, and then there’s a reason why a film like this or You, Me & Tuscany were made and bomb/ will bomb.

      The reason I would say is that there’s an exec out there who can only give Black filmmakers flattery, and is afraid to give them any sort of criticism. This is because of their White guilt, or that they are afraid of being called racist. In the end, it hurts us all as audience members, not just as me as a Black guy
