Is God Is is a visceral, stylized revenge thriller directed by Janicza Bravo (known for Zola), based on the acclaimed stage play by Aleshea Harris. The film follows twin sisters Anaia (played by Lovie Simone) and Racine (played by Taylour Paige) who receive a mysterious letter from their long-lost mother, She (portrayed by Viola Davis). Now scarred and dying in a nursing home, She reveals the horrific truth about the fire that nearly killed them all decades ago and gives the sisters a divine-like command: trek from the American South to the California hills to find and kill their father, Man (Colman Domingo). Armed with nothing but a suitcase and a thirst for justice, the sisters embark on a blood-soaked odyssey that blurs the lines between a modern Western and an ancient Greek tragedy.
The film serves as a bold exploration of generational trauma and features a powerhouse supporting cast, including Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Nicholas Ashe as the twins' half-brothers and Janelle Monáe as their father's new wife. Braiding hyper-stylized violence with "Afropunk" aesthetics, the 2026 production utilizes a vibrant, high-contrast color palette to mirror the intense emotional stakes of the sisters' mission. Produced by A24 and Scott Rudin Productions, the movie explores themes of familial legacy, the cleansing nature of rage, and the mythic power of the "mother-daughter" bond. It has been hailed as a genre-defying masterpiece that balances jet-black humor with a grounded, devastating look at the cycle of domestic abuse and the lengths one will go to to "right" the past.
