- Excerpt: Is God Is uses a variety of inspirations for its storytelling, but in the end it becomes its own thing. The filmmaking world can always stand to have another strong Black voice, and Harris has made an auspicious debut, one that should have cinephiles wondering what she’ll do next.
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: a tale of sisterhood and revenge, a road trip and a reckoning with family history with often shocking levels of violence.

[New] | Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Is God Is might not work as well as Harris would like, but this first-time filmmaker’s talent produces stretches of great vividness and power.
[New] | Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Is God Is’ is a flawed but compelling debut, anchored by two magnetic lead performances and Harris’s sharp ear for dialogue. The translation from stage to screen doesn’t always land, but there’s enough grit and ambition here to mark Harris as a filmmaker worth watching.
