Jesus Revolution (Jon Erwin and Brent McCorkle, 2023)In the mid-aughts, enabled by my then-editor, A.A. Dowd of The A.V. Higher-budget Christian films from major studios’ faith-oriented divisions tend to tone it down in a bid for wider appeal and bigger grosses. This is a genuinely new development; Christian films have traditionally drafted right-wing, past-their-prime C-listers (à la former sitcom star Cameron), insular evangelical stars, or uncharismatic placeholders. Jesus Revolution is predictably expedient in what it leaves out. Jesus Revolution, for example, contends that the major social breakthrough of the American ’60s wasn’t by the free-love generation but their less-revered Christian counterrevolutionaries.
