Organized religion and mental health are two sensitive subjects that individually need to be handled very carefully so as not to cause offense, forcing co-writer and director Jon Avnet to tread a fine line and orchestrate a tricky balancing act when he was crafting his forgotten 2017 drama Three Christs.
Fortunately, the story was inspired by real events, which gave the filmmaker the benefit of having a factual cushion to lean on when crafting the narrative. The feature-length adaptation of Milton Rokeach’s 1964 psychiatric study The Three Christs of Ypsilanti delivers pretty much exactly what you’d expect from the vague-yet-fascinating title.
