1.Belfast
Few films gave me more joy this year than Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical film about a working class family in 1960s Belfast. Though The Troublesof Protestant-Catholic conflict are in the background in important ways—the foreground here is family: three generations of a Northern Irish Protestant family who have called Belfast home for ages. I love so much about this movie: its depictions of traditional married love; the awe and innocence of 9-year-old Buddy; the beautiful embrace of m...
2.Dune
I went into Dune with zero context, having never read Frank Herbert’s novel or seen the 1984 movie version. I worried I’d be lost in such a complex sci-fi universe—and I was, a little. But it’s a testament to director Denis Villeneuve’s command of the cinematic language that tracking with the intricacies of plot didn’t matter as much as the big-canvas power of awesome visuals, sound design, and deep immersion into a well-established world. Villeneuve doesn’t spoon-feed audiences with tiresome...
3.Nine Days
When it released in July, I called Edson Oda’s Nine Days “2021’s most spiritually curious film.” I’d still stand by that. A Spike Jonze-esque surrealist drama about “soul candidates” vying for a chance at life, the indie film explores the most fundamental questions of existence. Why do we exist when we didn’t have to? If an omnipotent God has the power to create life, why doesn’t he intervene when life goes so excruciatingly awry? Even if not all of the film’s ideas are logical or sound, enou...

Here are 10 of my favorite documentaries or docuseries released in 2021 (listed in alphabetical order), along with where you can watch them.
- Blue Miracle: When Casa Hogar—an orphanage in Mexico that works to get homeless youth off the streets of Cabo San Lucas—found itself more than $100,000 in debt back in 2014, the teens teamed up with a grizzled (and disgraced) boat captain to win a fishing competition.
- The Jesus Music: We don’t often review documentaries here at Plugged In. So when we do, you know they’re something special. And this movie, which chronicles Christian Contemporary Music from its post flower-power beginnings through its 1990s heyday and into a new worship-driven age, is indeed special.
- The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis: If you’ve ever wondered what compelled the brilliant thinker and ardent atheist C.S. Lewis to turn his life over to God, this is the finely crafted movie you’ve been looking for.
- Show Me the Father: The Kendrick Brothers, Alex and Stephen, are household names for many Christian movie fans. They’re the guys behind films such as Fireproof, Courageous, Overcomer and Facing the Giants, among others.
Aug 7, 2024 · Faith-based movies don't always score with critics, but films like Hacksaw Ridge, Mass, and Jesus Revolution have proven to be lauded exceptions.
Jan 7, 2022 · After a long pause, 2021 saw a resurgence of faith films in theaters. These films included “Show Me the Father” and “Courageous Legacy” (by the Kendrick Brothers) and “The Jesus Music” and “American Underdog” by the Erwin Brothers.
