Movie Reviews

tonymedley.com - 10/10 by Tony MedleyA masterpiece. Mary and Joseph are shown as real people; locations are captivatingly recreated. Joseph gets more time than usual...Castle-Hughes is the best Mary ever seen on film.
OhmyNews.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfEverything is handled with an anvil-like importance, forgetting that, in essence, this is tale of great joy and hope.
Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Bill MullerThe Nativity Story becomes the anti-Passion, a movie that makes a statement against violence rather than exploiting it.
Decent Films Guide - 9/10 by Steven D. GreydanusEven at the height of Hollywood biblical epics, the real meaning of Christmas was essentially ignored. The Nativity Story goes a long way toward redressing this historic omission.
Looking Closer - 9/10 by Jeffrey OverstreetPerhaps this disappointing movie will inspire an up-and-coming filmmaker to sense the true potential of this story, and to deliver the first great film about the nativity.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Kirk HoneycuttUnfolds in a scrupulously accurate historical adventure story that depicts the world of Jesus' birth with an exciting you-are-there verisimilitude.
WaffleMovies.com - 8/10 by Willie WaffleExcels when focused on Mary and Joseph, but The Three Wise Men come off more like The Three Stooges.
Salt Lake Tribune - 8/10 by Sean P. MeansStretching this biblical tale to 90-plus minutes requires a lot of padding.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Bill ZweckerA refreshingly unadorned example of straightforward storytelling.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleBy grounding everything that went before in an earthy realism, Hardwicke earns the elevation of the nativity sequence, one of the more beautiful scenes in this year's cinema.
