new testament gospel narrative taken from a what if view of the non-believer's perspective, but based on a tainted Roman Catholic bible with its distorted texts ... real Christians could detect ... but non-believers it is aimed at will not know the difference. could have been better, but hollywood never up to the task. interesting attempt, but falls short.
A good Biblical potrayal of events surrounding the death & resurrection of my Lord, the Christ Jesus. WEB.
Fantastic film!
A good take on an old Biblical story. Well done.
Helps us understand how non-Christians viewed His resurrection. Well-acted.
To the person that said Christians prefer to ignore movies like Spotlight, that is a judgement you're not qualified to make. We are among the many Christians who saw it and were left heartbroken. What happened was not caused by men's Christianity, it was due to their lack of Christianity. It's called sin. Risen is about Jesus and His example on how we are meant to live and love. It was well done and there's lessons in it for all of us.
I wouldn't refer to anything Biblical as a fairy tale and by the time you find out it's not, it will be too late. You really should consider delving in to this more before deciding that. We saw Risen tonight and it made the Biblical facts of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection hit home more that ever. It was a well done movie and we need more of these.
Another fairy tale to make christians feel good about themselves. Probably well attended by christians who wouldn't go to see " Spotlight" because it was about something thay would prefer to ignore.
Excellent, interesting movie.
This is an excellent and inspiring movie. It impacted me tremendously. The first movie I will actually pay to se twice. Although it may not win any Oscars, and refreshingly not inundated with heavy CGI, its honest and forthright effort to convey realism will not go un-noticed. GO CHECK IT.
