Best Documentaries of 2024 — Variety
The scariest and most penetrating political documentary of the year, though the media mostly ignored it. It captures how Donald Trump, in the time he has spent setting himself up to be an authoritarian leader, fashioned himself into a president who could mesh perfectly with the goals of Christian nationalism, a movement built around the dream of transforming America into a theocracy. The film’s directors, Stephen Uljaki and Chris Jones, go deep into the roots of this crusade, which believes not only in trashing democracy but in undermining the very concept of free will that’s at the heart of Christian theology. The movement’s goal is a nation ruled by a higher power than the Constitution — ruled by the will of God, as interpreted by His white Christian followers. —OG

The Best Movies of 2024 — Variety
The scariest horror movie of the year. It’s even scarier now than it was when the film came out last spring, since the subject of Stephen Ujlaki and Chris Jones’s chilling documentary — the network of ideological soldiers that the Christian Right has been putting in place for decades, all in anticipation of the moment when they could take power — now looks, for the first time, like a nightmare with the potential to come true. The Christian nationalists view Donald Trump as a holy wrecking ball, and the film relentlessly investigates their symbiotic alliance as well as the hidden roots, and hidden might, of this movement. In a renaissance era of nonfiction social-justice filmmaking, “Bad Faith” went further than any film I saw this year in uncovering the conspiratorial impulse toward injustice in America.— Owen Gleiberman in Variety
