Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for fantasy fans and the curious. If you loved David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet or Apollo 11, start here.
The mood: Eye-opening.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 1 min.
What might put you off: Nothing much for most grown-ups.

Did Jesus exist? This film starts with that question, then goes on to examine Christianity as a whole.
