An excellent documentary about a unique man's quest for a meaningful life., 23 April 2008
8/10
Author: meskimen from United States

I saw this documentary at the L.A. United Film Festival, and I was totally captivated by it. As a documentary it fulfills its basic purpose very well, as the viewer can step into the world of the title figure and can walk in his footsteps, (if not in his shoes). The film follows a man simply known as "What's your name" as he attempts to live a life of extreme simplicity, with the bearing, message and clothing of Jesus. The most compelling parts for me were the negative reactions from the police and church officials who are uneasy and suspicious of anyone coming to their town who look and act like Jesus... really makes you think! I admire very much the work that went into this doc and would recommend it to anyone. It's really not a religious film or a Christian film or even an anti-religious film... it just deals with people and spirituality in a very interesting and objective way.
