The movie is all surface, loudly clamoring for attention and then losing its voice.

Adam, a neo-Nazi, is sentenced to perform community service at a church under the supervision of Ivan, a priest.

This dark comedy challenges viewers to question their own prejudices and beliefs.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Jensen tarnishes the lining of every cloud in one wickedly funny scene after another.
Peculiar but oddly winsome fable.
Film Threat by Pete Vonder Haar
When the most sympathetic character in your comedy is a skinhead, you’re definitely on to something, and Jensen definitely is here.
Some will see this as a movie about how we're all God’s children. I saw only the misanthropic fulminations of Jensen's runaway ego.
The characters are too cliched to be funny, and Jensen's script can't stay focused long enough to make an impression. Where is Lars von Trier when we need him?
The movie is one long pose. But it develops into an idea slightly greater than its flippancy. The steady frenzy is whipped into a roux of two reasonably developed characters.
