The Young Messiah follows a boy named Jesus as he grows up in Nazareth and begins to reveal extraordinary wisdom and powers that confound his human family and attract the attention of rulers. The film quietly examines faith, doubt, and the burden of a divine calling through the eyes of Joseph and Mary as they protect him while a dangerous world plots to know and control him. With restrained emotion and sweeping period detail, it is a contemplative biblical drama about identity, purpose, and belief.
