Thy Kingdom Come is a 2018 American documentary short film directed by Eugene Richards and starring Javier Bardem.[1][2] It is a spinoff of Terrence Malick's 2012 feature film To the Wonder with Bardem playing the same Midwestern priest character.[3] Thy Kingdom Come consists of cut footage from To the Wonder.[4]
With Bardem playing the role of Catholic parish priest Father Quintana, the film follows unscripted conversations and interactions between the real-life residents of a small Oklahoma town. The residents remain unaware that Bardem is playing a fictional priest as they share their lives of hardship, longing, and hope, including stories from individuals such as a loveless elderly woman, an inmate who's waited weeks for a letter, a Ku Klux Klansman seeking redemption, etc.
