Notes et avis

Absolutely love this movie, I actually re-watch it from time to time. Its not exactly your average typical movie. Very under-rated, It's not only a good movie, it also has some great historical content in it as well!!! Absolutely recommend it, especially for the history lovers out there!

I found this movie to be very enjoyable. It foregoes standard Hollywood blockbuster story arc for an engaging and accessible treatment of historical events. It features strong performances, excellent pacing, and great cinematography. It is a hidden gem.

Really gets you thinking about philosophy and faith. A must-see hidden gem of cinema. Edit: Was $0.99 to rent now it is $4.99... What is going on?
