Those who are Christian must enjoy this movie because it's probably one of the best and most faithful adaptations of the story of Jesus in the sense that there's essentially nothing here that could be controversial. Things happen as they are meant to, which just seemed incredibly purposeful to me, and the movie managed to impress me more with its captivating cast.
