Playing God

In con we trust.

Directed by Scott Brignac

202196 min6.0 / 10

A darkly comedic con-artist tale that uses a fraudulent promise of divine contact to explore grief, faith, and the moral ambiguity of deception.

A brother and sister con-artist duo find themselves scamming a grieving billionaire by convincing him they can introduce him to God, face-to-face.
