Review of Blue Like Jazz (2012) by Derek M — 10 Aug 2012

'Blue Like Jazz' cleverly spends a lot of its time mocking its possible detractors and less time forcefully thrusting its message at its audience. In this regard, it is an overwhelming success, managing to make the easily-criticized topic of Christianity a fairer conversation.

But as a film, the resolution it so blatantly points out seems a bit easy, a bit quick. That, and the whole movie seems a bit unimportant despite dealing with matters of such deep gravity. But it should still be praised because a film that manages to spread any message about Christianity that isn't anti is somewhat of an accomplishment these days.
