Sarah Silverman, like Sam Kinison and Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce, is an 'aquired taste'. Irony is lost on half of the population and having Jesus in the title alienates all the right people. For those of us who like our... Full review

This movie is downright hilarious. Silverman's material is quite possibly the edgiest stuff out there; but I guess if you are comfortable with jokes about "how black people talk a certain way, and white people talk a certain way" then this... Full review

What makes Silverman's performance so great is that people actually believe that she believes what she is saying. Sarah does not crave the jewels taken from the spines of Ethiopian children. This is satire that boldly takes on some of the... Full review

Wouldn't it be a hoot to stage a movie that makes fun of jews and their foibles? Perhaps they could even throw in some good death camp skits. Why doesn't someone do something like that? It would be hilarious. Oh yeah,... Full review

Silverman is a very funny live comic who has become famous in the US for chancy, challenging material and a persona that can't quite be moulded or planed down for conventional sitcom/romcom purposes, perhaps because she isn't conventionally attractive, with large nostrils and equine teeth; she can't be cast as the lead or the sister or the best friend. ...

It's not laugh-out-loud funny all the way through but she does have some toe-curlingly brilliant lines.....Silverman (pictured above) is a hugely talented, albeit somewhat affected comedian..... ... Full Review

After besting 99 fellow comedians in "The Aristocrats" earlier this year with her meta-rendition of the film's filthy joke, Silverman throws her carefully crafted persona a proper, and hilarious, coming-out party in "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic.

Shot on digital video, the film's doesn't look especially pleasant, but director Liam Lynch mixes up his shots well enough to keep the visuals from feeling static.
Jesus is Magic" is Sarah Silverman's hilarious reminder of that fact.
