Three Christs

Three Christs (2017) is a drama starring Richard Gere that you can watch online on iFILM. Late in the 1950s, inside a state psychiatric hospital in a small Michigan town, Dr. Alan Stone begins an unorthodox course of therapy with two patients — each of whom is certain he is Jesus Christ.

Stone soon learns a third man on the ward shares the very same conviction. Rejecting the era's blunt tools of electroshock and restraint, he brings all three together, betting that letting the rival "messiahs" confront one another might crack open each man's delusion. Peter Dinklage, Walton Goggins and Bradley Whitford play the three patients, with Julianna Margulies and Jane Alexander alongside Gere.

Director Jon Avnet adapts a well-known mid-century psychological study of three men gripped by the same fixed identity. It's a restrained, performance-driven piece about the line between faith and illness, and a doctor who chose conversation over punishment. A good pick for anyone who likes intimate dramas carried by strong acting. Stream Three Christs (2017) online on iFILM.
