Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. (2022) review

The husband and wife team of Trinitie (Regina Hall) and Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K. Brown) run a super-successful (and profitable) Baptist church called Wander to Greater Paths, but they have two major problems: Lee-Curtis is facing sexual abuse charges from young men he (allegedly) took advantage of, and Pastors Shakura (Nicole Beharie) and Keon Sumpter (Conphidance), who are much younger than them, are starting their own "place of worship" (Heaven’s Home) ... oh, and there's a documentary crew (led by Andrea Laing) buzzing around constantly.  Director Ebo (it's her feature debut) decided to continue a deeply unfortunate trend of trying to pad an 15-minute-long short of hers (with the same title) for a full-length movie, but the statement that religious types tend to be hypocrites and capable of mental gymnastics that allow them to cheat and lie is hardly revelatory (it doesn't work as satire, either).  It tries making the Hall character the "moral center" but that's ineffective because all she truly cares about is maintaining her cozy lifestyle (everyone's decked out in Italian clothes) ... and eventually resorts to wearing "whiteface," holding a sign and humiliating herself.  I know a lot of people have moved away from religion here in the U.S., but I doubt the Creator would approve of any of this chicanery.
