And No One Dared Disturb The Sound Of Silence

As a Christian, my biggest complaint with so-called faith-based Christian movies like God's Not Dead is...well, I don't just have one complaint with these atrocious movies, the worst of the bunch are pretty much top-to-bottom disasters. But in terms of complaints directly connected to my faith, these films claim to try to explore real-world struggles of Christianity but don't seem to exist in the real world. In an effort to be as squeaky-clean as possible, actual topics of hardship are rarely explored in these Christian films. More adult concepts are off-limits except for rare sequences like Kirk Cameron bashing in his porn-riddled computer in Fireproof and any of the tepid dramatic situations are easily resolved in a tidy little bow.

The VVitch Review

Wow, February 2016 sure has delivered some good movies, huh? Last weekend delivered the more fun than expected Deadpool, while the week prior brought out the Coen Brothers newest successful feature film Hail, Caesar! Considering February in years past has been the birthplace for classics like The LEGO Movie and The Silence Of The Lambs, perhaps it should come as no surprise to see some surprisingly solid releases emerging from this time of the year, but amidst a sea of films like Zoolander 2 and The Choice, one can appreciate that we've managed to get something as great this month as Hail, Caesar! all the more.
