Visually glorious and sometimes moving, but comes coated with a thick hoarfrost of irony.

In six different churches, six devout Catholics of different ages pray to Jesus in front of a camera, revealing the deepest parts of their spiritual and emotional lives.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Engrossing documentary.
Whatever blend of fact and fiction is really at work in this latest offering from ''Dog Days" director Ulrich Seidl -- known, by the way, for playing fast and loose with the documentary format -- the irony-laced ''Jesus, You Know" does persuade viewers to sit up and take notice of its inspired conceit.
If watching devout churchgoers pray to Jesus before a static camera sounds like the dullest idea ever for a documentary, think again: This might be the most fun you've ever had in church.
Inventive and bold, Jesus, You Know will especially resonate with people, like this critic, whose strict Catholic upbringing (some might call it brainwashing) inalterably shaped their lives.
