Jeffrey Overstreet of Looking Closer is on the anti-DVC train, for sure, but wants us to remember something quite important: There’s good stuff out there. Let’s spend at least as much time promoting quality films as we do critiquing the dreck. A case in point: Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, about which Jeffrey has a couple of lengthy posts:

My review will be posted at Christianity Today and I’ll be writing about it for SPU’s Response as well.

Further, let me say that Christians should spread the word that this is a must-see. It’s as important a film about faith as anything since The Passion of the Christ. Fortunately, it’s also very well made.

I’m predicting that 2006 is going to be twice as good a film year as 2005. It’s only mid-January, and I’ve already seen THREE films that will probably have prominence in a year-end Top Twenty list – A New World, Tsotsi, and now Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. Must-sees, every one.
