The Gospel of Eureka

2018

Documentary Love, faith, and civil rights collide in the south as evangelical Christians and drag queens step into the spotlight to explore the meaning of belief. Gospel drag shows and passion plays set the stage for one hell of a show.

	Author	Review
United States	Amy Nicholson Variety	"This cheerful small town portrait makes for an idealistic crowd-pleaser (...) [Palmieri] has a sharp eye for details"	POS
United States	Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"[Palmieri] creates an electrifying sense of rhythm and flow throughout (...) What is paramount, however, is the sense of a place where both terrible and beautiful things have happened and continue to."	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"[It] is only 75 minutes long, yet feels much longer. That’s partly because this cheery documentary (...) refuses to grapple with its glaring contradictions."	NEG
United States	Candice Frederick The Wrap	"What 'The Gospel of Eureka' does best is humanize this small and very specific group of people living on the fringes of the Christian and queer communities."	POS
United States	Christopher Gray Slant	"The documentary is uniquely attuned to the fickle whims of history, politics, and biographical circumstance (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
