Elvis was certainly worth seeing, though I don't know if the Gospel Coalition would agree. The only other nominated picture I saw all the way through was Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (costume design). It was sweet and maybe even the Gospel Coalition might like it.
Huby and I saw Mrs. Harris ..., and really enjoyed it. You are correct, a sweet movie.
Elvis makes the "TGC list" as an honorable mention. The honorable mentions are named but not reviewed in the piece I linked, but TGC did run an extended review, also by Brett McCracken, last July:
Time Goes By: ‘Elvis’ and Eternity
Brett McCracken is identified as TGC's communications director and senior editor. He seems to be the de facto movie critic, at least at this time. Most publications give their book, movie and music reviewers a pretty long leash. That said, I wouldn't consider this piece as a formal TGC seal of approval; it's one reviewer's opinion, written last December when hundreds of reviewers of all stripes were churning out their end of the year pieces. I only saw it two days ago because it was picked up by Rotten Tomatoes, which I find useful mainly as a convenient review aggregator; it turned up on the page of a movie in which I have enough of a continuing interest to track.
Anyhow, the quibble aside, reviewing is an art. I've not seen Elvis (I tend to dislike biopics) and have no idea if I would review the film in the same way. On first read, however, and not having seen the film, McCracken seems to be digging pretty deep to uncover the Christian themes embedded in the story, but he makes a strong argument that they're there if you look for them. This is perfectly fair ground for movie (and book) reviewers to explore. Whatever their personal politics, honest storytellers dealing with serious issues will want to write truth, and that will drive them in the right direction.
If filmmakers aspire to write truth, they will at least surface issues and choices that give conservatives our innings -- and I'm happy enough with movies that leave ground for a fair debate. If they don't care about writing truth, they are just hacks churning out party line propaganda or fantasy wish fulfillment. That's the real fault line: filmmakers who want to deal seriously with serious issues vs. the fantasy fiction crowd.
