After a record-breaking run in the US, Jesus Revolution is showing in UK cinemas from today. Our film reviewer says its the best Christian film he’s seen
Every once in a while, a good film targeted at Christians comes along in the US and, each time, the industry is shocked that there is an audience for quality, Christian storytelling.
The latest of these ‘surprise’ hits is Jesus Revolution, a film that earns the accolade of being one of the best Christian films I’ve seen. It still lacks the weight of ideas and the craftsmanship of the best mainstream cinema – films like this won’t be playing at Cannes any time soon – but it’s a satisfying story told well, with some genuine insight into the Church then and now. It’s a shame, then, that this effective piece of storytelling is still a huge missed opportunity. It’s a film haunted by the real history of the era and the potential of what could have been.
