Review of Risen (2016) by Christi S — 22 Sep 2016

I was not fulfilled spiritually with the story of this film. There were parts that felt less spiritual and more of a magic show act too. Some of the characters reminded me of the characters in Shakespeare's A Mid Summer's Night Dream... The silliest characters.

I really specifically, liked the point of view being told from an unbeliever's side,the Roman Soldier, however over all the execution was odd. It left me thinking that the film must've been done by a non believer or for sure the doubting Thomas because by the end it feels even further from spiritual and far more humorous parlor tricks and magic show. Bummer.
