The beginning of success?
This work, taken from real events, beat such behemoths as Madame Web, Migration or Argylle, which show a decline. site CinemaScore, which collects the opinions of the American public on the day of the film’s release, gives it an A+ rating. Only about 100 films have achieved this coveted score in the past 42 years.
However, this should be qualified by the fact that CinemaScore only collects public opinion in specific institutions.

Ordinary Angels is directed by John Gunn (no relation to James, the director of Guardians of the Galaxy). The filmmaker is a specialist in the topic of faith; We owe him a special debt for the biopic Jesus, The Investigation, which was released in theaters in 2018.
We followed Lee Strobel, an investigative reporter at the Chicago Tribune and a self-confessed atheist. The latter will face the sudden conversion of his wife to Christianity. To save his couple, he begins to investigate the figure of Christ, with the ambition to prove that he was never resurrected.
While waiting for the usual Angels, whose French release date has yet to be announced, you can watch Jesus, the Investigation on Prime Video.
