Jesus Revolution
65Worth an evening.
A revival told as a history, not as a feeling. Keep it, and ask what lasted.
The review
The film is interested in a specific time and a specific church parking lot, which saves it from being a generic inspiration. Lonnie is gifted and unstable. Chuck is cautious and then not. The young people want a father as much as a high. The movie knows the difference more often than films on this shelf do.
Watch it with a teenager who thinks faith is a costume of one decade. Then ask the harder question the last reel only sketches: a movement that cannot become a household and a Sunday will be a mood. Moods end.

Live Historic number 65. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry is the thin one.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Hacksaw Ridge
74 instead of 65
Hacksaw Ridge is still a drama film, and it scores 74 instead of 65. What you gain is industry: A medic's repetitive, physical work.
The eight
- 5Industry
A pastor has a congregation to keep. The work is people, not a stage.
- 6Household
Broken houses show up. The film wants them repaired, not displayed.
- 9Piety
The subject is conversion, and it is not embarrassed.
- 7Courage
Opening the church to people the pews dislike is the brave act.
- 6Republic
A town, a church, and a generation. Not a private ecstasy.
- 6Temperance
The drug years are the before. The film does not miss them.
- 7Truth
It is a history, and it leaves in the part where the leader fails.
- 6Stewardship
The test is whether anyone is still there when the moment is over.
