Steven D. Greydanus Decent Films Quite simply one of the most genuinely profound and noteworthy depictions of the gospel story of all time, in any medium. Rated: A+ May 8, 2002 Full Review Antonia Quirke Independent on Sunday It's a powerfully engaging film, one that correctly sees the gospels as spiritual autobiography, and Jesus's skill with parables as an art both fundamental and devastating.

Rated: 3/5 Jun 9, 2015 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 4, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
