It is a bold attempt to write a screenplay about young Messiah's life and turn it into movie since we have no canonical sources (perhaps it is so for a reason) apart from one clear episode in the Gospel. And the authors should be congratulated for this attempt (perhaps it is first one). For today's audience the movie would appear rather emotionally flat. And there is no special effects, not unexpected and shocking turns along the way. But it has good side too. It shows that the life of young Messiah probably was simple and very human. It shows that Jesus had to learn who he really was and his earthly parents had to help him to find it out. It could be very true.
