Interview With God

“Interview with God” stars Brenton Thwaites as Paul, a journalist who snags a once in a career assignment, an interview with almighty God. 

The deity being interviewed is played by David Strathairn, previously seen in “Good Night and Good Luck” and “A League of Their Own.”

The reporter and the almighty God have made arrangements to meet together for a three part interview series, location to be determined daily.

The first interview between God and Paul takes place in a city park. As Paul asks his questions, the interview slowly morphs before our eyes, with the interview becoming focused on Paul.

Throughout the movie, it is clear that the interview is about Paul. It is, in fact, an intervention for Paul, who is in a time of crisis in his life, and is not at all about God.

The movie is a fascinating concept from a written perspective; yet the movie is mired in dysfunction and chaos, as is Paul.
