Review of The Young Messiah (2016) by Orlando O — 25 Jul 2016
The Young Messiah is finally showing something different in the biblical drama film, this time showing the earlier years of Jesus (Adam Greaves-Neal). There are many films about showing the time of Jesus crucifixion or the post events like Risen.
A plot showing a seven year old Jesus, learning on who he is, and what his purpose is. Also, the downside of the film, the direction can be very slow. The acting is on the edge as well, when it comes to these films.
It's a story about a boy, trying to self discover himself, as his mother Mary is hesitant on trying to explain to him about his father being god. The direction does get dull at times, and even to the part were you feel like the plot is going nowhere.
Only positive about the film is John Debney beautiful music score that he creates for the film.
