From writer/director Aleshea Harris, Is God Is is a new drama/mystery about the epic revenge quest of two sisters, one that stars Vivica A. Fox, Janelle Monáe, Sterling K. Brown, Kara Young and Mallori Johnson.

Epic seems to be the right word for this one.

Should I be concerned that so many of the movies exciting me this year are super violent?

It’s no secret that well-executed vengeance stories are among my favourites, and they rarely come without brutality. Still, there seems to be a real concentration of them in 2026. For example: The Bluff (2026), They Will Kill You (2026), Ready or Not 2 (2026), and now, Is God Is.

Maybe there was a dearth of violent films in recent years, and they’re now simply arriving all at once. Or perhaps it’s somehow a sign of the times. Either way, I’m here for the cinematic spectacle.

Xavier Nealy-Davis, Mykelti Williamson, Erika Alexander, Janelle Monáe, Xavier Mills, Josiah Cross, Justen Ross, Rhonda Johnson Dents, Lena Clark and Mark Druhet also star.

Is God Is Release Dates: May 15th, 2026
