Watch: Three Christs 2017 123movies, Full Movie Online – Three Christs tells the story of an extraordinary experiment that began in 1959 at Michigan’s Ypsilanti State Hospital, where Dr. Alan Stone treated three paranoid schizophrenic patients who each believe they are Jesus Christ.

Dinklage in a cuckoo’s nest
“Three Christs” was a last minute choice of mine at the TIFF. As a big Dinklage’s fan, and considering that it was a world premiere, it was easy enough to go check it out. I’m glad I did. This movie is one about the brain and its struggles, but it does so with a big heart. It’s funny and touching with a good balance, and the acting is top notch (I’m actually a bigger Dinklage’s fan after the movie). The underlying themes about psychiatry as science and its potential negative effect on personality, the nature of identity, the complex interaction of desire and fear are inhabiting the film and are as relevant today as they were at the time. In summary, a great entertaining movie with a deeper layer… and a stellar Dinklage!
Good acting in a not so good movie
Such talented actors, somewhat wasted in a meandering story overly loaded with clichés and melodrama. There’s a compelling story somewhere underneath all the quirkiness and over-dramatic options, but it never fully surfaces. It feels too staged, even like a play, and I never fully believed that I was seeing real people other than such talented actors. The performance is still worth watching, especially that of the Three Christs, they are all brilliant in their uncharacteristic roles.
