Sterling K. Brown has a number of fabulous roles to his name (as well as some Emmys and an Oscar nomination), but apparently we’ve never seen him like this. Is God Is, which premieres May 15 on the 2026 movie calendar, is an adaptation of an Off-Broadway play from Aleshea Harris, who also wrote the movie’s script and serves as director. Reviews are in for the road trip thriller, and critics are raving about the performances and Harris' message.
The monster in this movie may be portrayed by Sterling K. Brown, but Is God Is is an ensemble film led by two-time Tony Award winner Kara Young and Mallori Johnson. They play twins who are scarred from a fire set by their father (Brown) in an attempt to kill their mother (Vivica A. Fox) when they were young, and the movie shows their efforts to track him down after their mother asks them to kill him.
