Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

nowackiandrew Very well done, well paced, with beautiful cinematography and acting. Traces the life of Jesus as a child for a year. Does not follow scripture of course as it is based on an Anne Rice novel, but has the spirit of the Bible and is so well done.

mmpatriot I just watched this movie. So beautiful and so sweet. It should be getting straight 10's all across the board. I am a Traditional Catholic and I was not "offended" like some of you pretend to be. This was a sweet story that tried to give us an idea of what Jesus' life might have been like as a child. The music was so wonderful. I loved this film. So well done and the actors were perfect for the roles they played. I recommend this to EVERYONE. Maybe you'll learn something about humility. I could see this movie many times, just happens to be Christmas time that I was able to see it and I couldn't have planned it better. Please see this movie, it is so wonderful!!!

Kirpianuscus first - a bizarre film. for the not inspired cast, for the large isles of non sense, for the absence of precise purpose. it is not a Christian film and not a religious one. only a strange embroidery of fragments from the Gnostic Gospels, few good actors in uncomfortable roles and a chaotic story. the dialogues, the acting, the generous message - all is fake or wrong or almost blasphemy. result - a kind of surrogate. the young Adam Greaves - Neal is far to be the perfect choice for a role who represents only source of confusion. Sara Lazzaro must be a second Olivia Hussley from the Jesus of Zeffireli. but her role remains a sketch. Jonathan Bailey gives a barefooted Herod without any precise purpose because his status is only as decoration. Sean Bean, the poor Sean Bean... Jane Lapotaire does her the best try but the old Sarah is impossible to be credible as result of confuse script. the Bible is ignored and the Gnostic texts as used only as pretext. the result - a film with interesting idea about nothing. or only an exercise of blasphemy.

blackbolt-97569 The movie had a great interaction between the cast. A developing story line and entertaining characters. Almost every and any Christian could find fault with historical facts/figures presented as part of typical nitpicking. Based upon our exposure and experience to not only the bible but other historical sources. Thankfully the story was not about historical accuracy but about a young Jesus, and a very good story at that. It is based upon the creative hypothetical. What would it be like to be Jesus growing up? Concentrating on a short span of time but including Jesus's trip to Jerusalem for Passover when he is just 7 years of age. I found it thoughtful, illuminating and satisfying. I am sure many will too. Go see it ye Christian soldiers.
