The great Regina Hall anchors 'Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.' with a hilarious turn as the put-upon wife and dutiful 'first lady' of a peacocking pastor (Sterling K. Brown), whose megachurch falls on hard times when the 'pastor in Prada' embroils himself in a serious scandal. the opening act of 'Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul' coasts along on familiar but well executed jokes about megachurch culture.
as his put-upon wife and dutiful "first lady" Trinitie, the opening act of "Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul" coasts along on familiar but well executed jokes about megachurch culture. Writer/director Adamma Ebo has a keen ear for the details of this world, including the passive aggressive daggers hidden behind every "bless your heart" and "god is good" — not to mention the innate hypocrisy of prosperity gospel.

Save Your Soul." had simply maintained its opening act’s broad comedic tone throughout, it likely still would’ve emerged as one of the most captivating entries in this year’s Sundance Film Festival line-up. But Ebo has something more complex up her sleeve as she expands her 2018 short of the same name into a formally inventive, tonally bold debut feature.
Yet Abo refuses to ever let her film settle into just one mood, perpetually flitting between comedy, drama and full-on absurdism to capture the swirling mindset of Trinitie’s increasing cognitive dissonance. It’s an unusual approach to a character study, but one that proves to be an ideal showcase for Hall’s impressive range as both a comedic and dramatic actor.
