Review of The Young Messiah (2016) by Sheena F — 17 Mar 2016
Disappointing. Big problems with the plot and the boy Christ was badly caste. Other actors were very good, but the weak plot points just kept the movie coming together for me. Didn't care for the role of the "devil" but it could have been used to firm up the seemingly unreasonable motivation of key characters such as Herod Antipas, but wasn't.
Script was boring in many parts but my biggest criticism is the lack of humor. Why portray the young Christ as "troubled?".
