Rating: 2/5 --
The Young Messiah takes a different approach by focusing on a specific point in Jesus's childhood. But the faith-based film drags, and is mostly unremarkable.

It's a miracle it got made in the first place.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
[Non-Christians] will find this trudge through Jesus' childhood years laborious, even though it thankfully refrains from proselytising.

South China Morning Post
[B]elievably stretching the imagination but finding that balance of history and theology that crosses the religious demographic lines, appealing to believers and non-believers alike, not to mention movie-goers who just want to see a well done film.

Product Description:
Based on the novel CHRIST THE LORD: OUT OF EGYPT by Anne Rice, THE YOUNG MESSIAH is a biblical drama that imagines the life of Jesus at age seven. As his family travel from Egypt to Nazareth, the young Jesus (Adam Greaves-Neal) wishes to learn more about his identity and place in the world. Meanwhile, Herod Antipas (Jonathan Bailey) dispatches a Roman centurion (Sean Bean) to hunt down and kill the boy, whose miraculous powers might be a threat to his reign. Sara Lazzaro and Vincent Walsh also star in this film from director Cyrus Nowrasteh.
