Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
A retelling of the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, based on the idea that he was a black man whose death was a racially motivated hate crime.
Leave your thoughts about Color of the Cross.
| Heritage Konpa MagazineKam WilliamsThe Crucifixion revisited with black Jesus as victim of bias crime. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThis is not a film for neophytes: It proceeds from the assumption that the viewer is familiar with the events and people of Jesus' life, and is probably right in doing so: Its intended audience is seriously Christian. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThough the film's final, disturbing image forces race to the forefront and belatedly raises wider issues of persecution, its most controversial suggestion is not that Jesus might have been black but that he might have been a really terrible actor. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachSave for Jesus' skin color, which he shares with some of his fellow Jews, little about the story is re-imagined or re-evaluated. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaFilled with close-ups of Jesus and his apostles (all the better to hide the absence of elaborate period sets), mixing quotes from the Scripture with flat exposition, this low-budget affair is earnest and, alas, more than a little bit cartoonish. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyOnce the revisionist frisson of a black Jesus, not to mention Mary, Joseph and Judas, has worn off, one is stuck with more mundane matters such as story dynamics, visual style and character verisimilitude, much to the misfortune of the audience. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterThis feels like a cramped, TV-style retelling, with small groups of people, no special effects, in some ways almost cheesy. |
| User ReviewJ.m. HGREAT MOVIE! First time Jesus is portrayed as a Black man. it brings up the possibility of Christ's race being a factor in his horrific treatment. In addition to that, it is written, produced and stared by a brotha. Can't get no better than that! |
| User ReviewStuart MVery educational for black america.great movie |
| User ReviewShifra Smy bro is in this movie- he plays john the apostle- his name is akiva david- hes single ladies- never mind- you'll have to go through me to get to him lol |
