Case for Christ (2017)
9/10



Based on true story... in the 1980s, award winning Chicago Tribune investigative reporter and avowed atheist Lee Stroble, becomes deeply distressed when his formerly atheist wife finds religion, putting his marriage in deep trouble. Lee uses his modern investigative reporting skills to prove Christ, the crucifixion and/or resurrection has no bases in historical fact or reason.

Authentic period piece, tight modern direction, and Oscar worthy performance by lead Mike Vogel. This is how the subject matter is done... unflinchingly. There's a devotion to the subject matter at hand, not unlike Zodiac (2007), Spotlight (2015) and other subject pieces, but holds and interweaves the dramatic and emotional elements together well. Tis the season.
