Synopsis
"Jesus' Son" (2000) is an American indie drama by Alison Maclean, available to watch online on iFILM. Billy Crudup plays a drifting young addict known only as FH, who bounces from Iowa to Chicago to Phoenix, picking up damage and leaving some behind at every stop.
The film adapts Denis Johnson's 1992 short-story collection — a cult book that takes its title from a Velvet Underground lyric. The episodes don't connect in a straight line; they accumulate, the way a life does. Samantha Morton plays his on-and-off girlfriend. Jack Black, Dennis Hopper, Holly Hunter, and Michael Shannon each take a stretch of the road with him. Messy, darkly funny, and more compassionate than its surface suggests — a film about someone who keeps failing at being good, until one day he stops failing.
