I can be quite a harsh critic of explicitly Christian and especially Catholic films. I simultaneously believe that Christian art should be better than secular art and that most contemporary Christian media is of lesser artistic value than your average Netflix teen drama. We worship a God who is transcendental; He is Goodness, Truth, and Beauty, and our artistic endeavors should attempt to emulate that, to give our audience a small glimpse of that transcendence through our subcreation (to borrow a term from Tolkien).
Which is why it pains me so much that the average contemporary Christian filmmaker seems to think that Full House is the height of cinematic achievement.
