[A] clever exercise in gently heretical whimsy....[The film] puts across its mock-spiritual conceit with such quick-witted ingenuity and disarming good humor that believing it is surprisingly easy.
Los Angeles Times

Rating: 3/5 -- It's just as silly as it sounds, but it's also a joyous celebration of heresy from a country that deserves a good laugh. Full Review
Financial Times
Dec 27, 2016
Rating: 2/5 -- This saccharine religious comedy from Belgium's Jaco Van Dormael fails to live up to its initial promise. Full Review
Little White Lies
Jul 3, 2018
An irreverent but otherwise harmless ontological satire that puts a cartoonish spin on the Christian origin story. Full Review
Variety
Dec 27, 2016
Rating: 4/5 -- Weird, wonderful, and with plenty of soul, The Brand New Testament shows that a simple idea - and a little chutzpah - can go a very long way. Full Review
One Room With A View
Apr 18, 2019
[A] surreal comedy whose endless visual imagination matches its conceptual wit.
New York Times
Dec 8, 2016
It takes a wildly clever setup and fails utterly to deliver on its own premise; and does so in a visual language lifted wholesale from other, better films. Full Review

Product Description:

This comic fantasy imagines that God is actually a grumpy man living in Brussels (Benoît Poelvoorde) with his wife and ten-year-old daughter Ea (Pili Groyne). When Ea gets fed up with her dad's cruel ways, she decides to leak a file from his computer that says when everyone on Earth is scheduled to die. At the same time, she searches for six apostles of her own in order to help humanity. Directed by Jaco van Dormael.
