“Maclean keeps her mesmerizing film spinning from hilarity to heartbreak, offering sharp supporting turns by Jack Black as a disorderly orderly, Denis Leary as a crazed divorcee and Holly Hunter as a disabled patient. Still, it’s Crudup, an actor of fire and grace, who makes this fuckhead worth watching.”
Adapted from Denis Johnson’s eponymous short story collection, Jesus’ Son concerns the episodic life of Fuckhead (Billy Crudup), a junky-cum-petty thief and his journey towards some kinda redemption. A brilliant cast includes Samantha Morton, Michael Shannon, Dennis Hopper, Holly Hunter, Dennis Leary and Jack Black.
