John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 09/15/2014
Unlike the recent release American Jesus... this film is sincere about letting its protagonists explain themselves. Go to Full Review

3.0/4.0
The film toys with the concepts of masculinity and Christianity and how the two can possibly co-exist, but it really doesn't go anywhere with it all. Go to Full Review

8.1/10
The results never feel over-stuffed or undercooked; there's a balance here, and the film never tips too far one way or the other to upset its equilibrium. Go to Full Review

... the faces behind the faith-based fisticuffs are as engaging as they are entertaining. Go to Full Review

Storkel and Junge largely get it right, taking the viewer into a truly unique, and not oft-documented place, remaining observant of their subjects, but never critical. Go to Full Review

01/11/2020 Thoroughly enjoyed this insight into a different interpretation and expression of Christianity in America. Definitely an area that needed exploration and was done extremely well.

See more 11/08/2014 Surprisingly even-handed, Fight Church examines a bizarre section of Christianity in an interesting way. Directors Bryan Storkel and Daniel Junge handle the subject in a way that is respectful to both sides of the argument, and give both parties time to explain their point of view. This is so refreshing for a "issue" documentary, especially one dealing with Christianity. Junge and Storkel don't seem to be trying to villify Christianity. Rather they only seem interested in correctly portraying the varying schools of thought within the church. I think its pretty clear what side of the argument Junge and Storkel fall on. However, that isn't the point of Fight Chuch. Fight Church is all about the people involved in this argument, rather than the argument itself. In that way, Fight Church is one of the best documentaries I've seen all year. See more Read all reviews
