Abstract

New York Times film reviewer, A.O. Scott reviews the film, "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic." He sees her humor as an attempt to be a transgressive way of taking on taboo topics, and argues that her "mocking political correctness has become a form of political correctness in its own right" and is, moreover, self-congratulatory flattery both for herself and her audience." In 2021 Scott and Silverman revisit his review and her film in conversation about both.
