Dennis Harvey Variety Jan 27, 2006
Son of Man boils down the life of Jesus Christ to 86 concise minutes, restoring layers of political motivation largely absent from The Passion of the Christ and adding stirring original vocal music. Go to Full Review

Luke W Jan 17, 2019 Beautiful retelling of the Story of Christ. An important piece as it takes viewers out of their comfort zone in its modernization of the events that make up Christ's public ministry, including his death and resurrection. See more
