The Young Messiah: movie review

Writing & Speaking

Rating: ***

I had the opportunity to watch the Young Messiah recently, so here are my thoughts about the new release.

The fictional movie depicts Yeshua's childhood. It supposedly covers the period during which Yosef and Miryam went back from Egypt to the little town of Nazareth. Like the former film on the same topic, A child named Jesus, the source of the storyline seems to be found in apocryphas like the infancy gospel of Thomas.

While some people would slate the movie for being fictionnal, I personally don't make fiction about Yeshua an issue, as long as our Messiah is presented in a respectful manner, which is the case here.

The positive points that I'd like to underline are, among others, that the movie raises some interrogations about the way Yeshua handled being a child, given His supernatural gifts. How did He perceive His Father and what was His relationship to Him? Also, how was He perceived by His entourage? Surely He was confronted with incomprehension and envy.

The character of Yeshua played by Adam Greaves-Neal is touching.

However the following details displeased me:

The strong British English accent during the whole movie could make you think that the scene is playing in Europe, not in Israel of the 1st Century.
The scene of the rotten apple during which the devil kills another child is just wrong. Why? Well, because it is supporting the false catholic myth of the apple being the " forbidden fruit". Learn more here and acknowledge that the forbidden fruit is indeed a FIG.
Many actors don't look like true Israelis, born and raised in 1st Century Israel. In fact, they look European to say the least, not Middle Eastern.

Globally, the movie is quite interesting if you are taking it for what it is ( a fiction). It manages to underline Yeshua's love for the Father and unveils His healing abilities.

If it manages to increase people's faith in Yeshua, I can only applaud and say: "Well done" to the producer. However I'd like to warn the viewer that it is not based on the canonic Gospels.
