Fantasy. Comedy God exists. He lives in Brussells. He's horrible to his wife and daughter. A lot's been said about his son, but almost nothing about his daughter. That's me; I'm his daughter. I'm called Ea and I'm ten years old. To take revenge, I've sent out text messages letting everyone know the dates they're going to die.

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"In the beginning, things went a bit differently than the Good Book would have us believe — or at least, that’s the playful conceit behind Jaco Van Dormael’s 'The Brand New Testament,' an irreverent (but otherwise harmless) ontological satire"	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang IndieWire	"With a sense of fun that is more playful than subversive, 'The Brand New Testament' is a bouncy treat: not so much heresy as whimsy, with a smooth matte finish and a mischievous grin."	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A religiously incorrect but irresistibly funny work of the imagination (...) Jaco Van Dormael confirms his title as Belgium’s wacky philosopher-king of filmmakers"	POS
